Details

The City of Cerritos is offering a paper shredding and compost event from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, September 27. The event will be held in the parking lot of the Cerritos Senior Center at Pat Nixon Park located at 12340 South Street.

Cerritos residents may bring up to two banker-sized (12" wide, 15" long and 9.5" deep) boxes of paper documents to be shredded at no charge. Staples and paper clips may be left on documents, but paperwork should not contain any binder clips or three-ring binders.

Documents will be shredded on-site at the program. This is a secure way to dispose of paperwork that contains private information.

Each participating resident also will have the option to obtain free fresh compost. Residents must bring their own rigid container, no larger than 35 gallons, to hold the compost. Staff will be on-site to assist residents in obtaining compost material.

Events are first-come, first-served and will end when the truck capacity is reached.
