Participants are asked to follow traffic signs and remain in their vehicles.

“It’s a pleasure to partner with Representative Grant to offer this free service for the residents we serve,” said Lewis. “I’m sure we all have sensitive documents that are in need of safe, secure disposal, and this event provides the perfect avenue for the destruction of documents.”
