Secure Document Shredding is Now Available at
All 4 City Of Fort Worth Drop-Off Stations!
Fort Worth homeowners and some renters may now bring
documents to be shredded to all 4 of the
City of Fort Worth’s Drop-Off Stations. Just show a

drop-off station will have secure shred carts for residents
to deposit their condential documents for shredding.
This shred program will be available year round.
WHAT KINDS OF PAPER CAN I BRING?
Sensitive papers that carry your Social Security number,
birth date, signature, account numbers, passwords or
PIN numbers. These include: old tax information, old bills,
dated bank statements, credit card statements, old checks,
le folders, medical records, identication, contracts &
other business documents. Please note you do not need to
remove staples or paperclips.
All paper collected at the Drop-Off Stations is
transferred to the Tarrant County Secure Document
Destruction Facility for shredding and recycling
by Tarrant County. Unfortunately due to logistics,
witnessing is not allowed. If document destruction
witnessing is required then we ask that you please
contact a company that allows for the witness of
document destruction.
