Residents are invited to safely dispose of personal documents and records such as old tax returns, processed checks, medical records, loan applications, financial reports and other papers…

The San Marcos City Clerk’s office will sponsor a free Shred Day for San Marcos and Hays County residents from 9 a.m. to noon (or until the truck is full) on Saturday, May 12 at City Hall, 630 E. Hopkins. Shred Day was rescheduled from April 21 due to forecasts of rainy weather.

The limit is three boxes per vehicle. No commercial/business shredding will be accepted.

City staff will be on hand to assist residents who want to dispose of boxes of paper documents by confidential on-site shredding by Iron Mountain Services.

Residents are invited to safely dispose of personal documents and records such as old tax returns, processed checks, medical records, loan applications, financial reports and other papers that include Social Security or banking and credit card account numbers.

Documents should be free of metals, such as binders, large metal clips, and hanging folders. No plastics, such as DVDs, ID badges, and X-rays, will not be accepted. Please do not tape boxes closed.

All the documents will be shredded on site. Staff will be available to help unload material from vehicles. Bags and boxes will be returned to residents.
