Documents will not be shredded on-site, but Triad Shredding, a local, licensed and bonded company, will be shredding collected documents at their secure facility.
With assistance from the Champaign Police Department and the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), unused, unwanted, or expired prescription medications will be collected to be safely disposed of at this same event.
