Winnetka’s Document Destruction Event will be held on Saturday, August 15 from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Public Works Yards at 1390 Willow Road for residentially-generated paper, such as medical forms, bank statements, personal files, retired tax forms, etc. Paper clips and staples do not need to be removed, but please remove binders and any plastic covers. 

There is no cost to participate, but residents must live in one of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County’s member communities and IDs will be checked for proof of residency. Residents will be limited to six file-size boxes or paper shopping bags per vehicle. Please do not bring documents in plastic bags. As residents drive up in their vehicles, workers will unload the paper documents into large carts. When full, the carts of paper are emptied into the truck’s cross-shredding machine.
