City of Longmont Shredding Events

In response to the needs of our residents, our dedication to preserving our environment, and to help protect your identity, we are pleased to announce that we will be holding monthly document shredding events at the City of Longmont Recycle Center throughout 2013!

Shredded material is recyclable, but not accepted in your curbside single-stream recycling cart.

These events let Longmont residents conveniently recycle sensitive documents in a manner that maintains efficient operation of the processing center.
