Lafayette, LA –Lafayette Consolidated Government and Keep Lafayette Beautiful are hosting the annual Paper Shredding Day on April 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Robicheaux Center (1919 Eraste Landry Road). This event aims to provide residents of Lafayette and surrounding unincorporated areas with a secure and convenient way to dispose of sensitive documents; all documents will be shredded on site.

Residents can bring their confidential documents for shredding, ensuring the protection of personal information and reducing the risk of identity theft. This service is open and free for all residents of the city of Lafayette and unincorporated areas.

The guidelines for the event include ensuring that documents are free of binders and clips, allowing papers to be stapled, limiting to 3 kitchen-size garbage bags per household, and accepting only documents containing personal and sensitive information. Business documents will not be accepted, and recyclables such as magazines, books, newspapers will not be part of the shredding process.

"Since all the shredded paper is recycled, residents not only safeguard their privacy but also contribute to environmental sustainability by ensuring that sensitive documents are disposed of responsibly."
