The City of Renton and the Renton Police Department are hosting a “shredathon” May 3.

Join the police from 9 a.m. to noon May 3 in the Sam’s Club parking lot at 901 S. Grady Way for the free document shredding event.

Documents will be accepted until noon or until shredder is full.

Residents may bring  up to five boxes containing paper documents to be destroyed in a truck-mounted shredder.

Boxes should be 12- to 15-inches deep and 10-inches high, or bring the amount of paper that would fit in a box that size.

Documents are limited to household papers. For more details go to www.rentonwa.gov and search “shredathon,” or call 425-430-7520.
