Howard County runs its fall Big Shred this Saturday, October 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. There are four sites, and the closest one to us is the North Laurel Community Center on Wh***ey Bottom Road. They stop when the trucks are full, so earlier is better than later.
If what you have is paper, go. It is the right answer and it costs you nothing but the drive.
Here is where we are the better call. A shred truck takes documents. It does not take the filing cabinet the documents lived in, or the particle board desk it sat under, or the four boxes of binders and manuals that are not worth feeding through a shredder page by page. That part is a truck job, and it is usually what people are still looking at on Sunday afternoon.
Take the paper to the shred. Call us about the furniture it came out of.
