Free Shred-Fest: High Desert residents can bring up to four banker boxes of paper documents up to 20 pounds each for secure shredding. A shredding company will be onsite so residents can watch as their documents are shredded. Shredding will take place from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. or until the shred truck reaches full capacity. To facilitate quick service, attendees are encouraged to have their paper boxes loaded in their car trunks for easy unloading by event staff.
