The City of Hendersonville will sponsor a Document Shred Event for City residents on Monday, October 12, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This year’s event will be held in Patton Park located at 114 E. Clairmont Drive in Hendersonville.
Shred-it will have its shredding truck at the Patton Pool parking lot to allow residents to dispose of sensitive materials. Residents are invited to bring up to two boxes (or up to 50 lbs.) of paper items to be shredded. Suggested items to shred are financial statements, canceled checks, credit card statements, payroll stubs, insurance forms, old tax returns, forms from doctor's offices, etc. This event is not for business shredding. The public can simply drop their documents off or stay and watch their documents be destroyed. The event will happen rain or shine. If the shredding truck fills up before 1:00 p.m., the event will be over.
To make this part of a community outreach effort, the City is asking residents coming to the event to bring non-perishable pantry items to donate to Interfaith Assistance Ministry (IAM). Suggested items are listed on IAM’s website at https://www.iam-hc.org/current-needs.
Please note that there will not be a medication take-back at this shred event. If you have expired or unused medications to dispose of, they can be dropped off at the medication disposal box in the lobby of the Hendersonville Police Department, located at 630 Ashe Street, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information on the medication disposal box, please visit https://www.hendersonvillenc.gov/police-department/medication-disposal
