On Saturday, May 12 between 9:00 a.m. and noon, Village residents are invited to bring unwanted personal documents to the Roger Prange Municipal Center, located at 8600 Green Bay Road, for on-site destruction. Residents may bring as many personal documents as they can carry for shredding by Shred-it. Shred-it is an on-site document destruction company. Shred-it provides trucks with custom-built shredders that can efficiently destroy items such as confidential paper documents and CDs. This service is free of charge for Pleasant Prairie residents.

Destroying old documents containing personal information can be a simple and important step towards protecting yourself from fraud and identity theft. It prevents your confidential and personal information from falling into the wrong hands after you dispose of it. After destroying your documents on-site, Shred-it will recycle all of the shredding it collects into a variety of paper products. Those who participated in the 2011 Village Shred and Recycle Day saved the equivalent of 14 trees.
