North Bend will host a free Shred-It event on October 11, offering residents a chance to securely dispose of unwanted documents. The event is scheduled from 8 a. m. to 12 p. m.

at North Bend City Hall, located at 920 SE Cedar Falls Way. Participants can bring up to two file boxes or three grocery bags of documents for shredding, helping to reduce paper clutter at home. Organizers emphasize that items such as metal, plastic bags, or DVDs should not be brought due to the risk of jamming the shredder.

Local officials believe this service enhances community engagement and environmental stewardship. Residents are urged to mark their calendars to take advantage of this convenient opportunity.
