Shred Day is Saturday, September 28th

Sponsored by FBCMUD 116 Board of Directors

This Shred and E-Waste Day event is scheduled for the residents of the Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 116 (FBCMUD 116) community. Residents are encouraged to bring their kids along and will receive a free goodie bag!

Document Shredding

A shred truck will be parked at the recreation center to receive up to 5 boxes of paper goods. Shredding documents is a secure way to discard important papers that are no longer needed while protecting yourself from identity theft. It’s also an excellent way to get rid of old school work, bringing in a fresh new school year for the kids.

Shredding Tips:

• Remove metal binders and binder clips before arriving (paper clips and staples are acceptable). No Wet Paper!
• Please do not bring your paper in a plastic bag. This slows the process down as the bag must be ripped open and inspected before disposing of the paper. Please transport it loosely inside a box and the box will be returned to you.
• There is no need to shred your used paper before dropping it off.
• Due to safety concerns, we are unable to allow residents to park and watch documents be shredded.
• Sort your electronic waste before you load it into your vehicle to ensure it is separate from all paper.
• Load your boxes of paper first, then load any electronic waste in your vehicle last. Electronic waste will be the first to be unloaded.
