This is a drive-up event for free shredding of your confidential documents. Legislative staff will be on hand to answer questions about state programs or discuss issues.
“If you have old medical records, financial statements, or other sensitive information you’re looking to safely dispose of – now’s your chance!” said Schmidt. “We are also partnering with the Cahokia Heights Chamber of Commerce, and they’re going to be accepting old electronics that have been collecting dust.”
