Document Destruction EventDocument Destruction Event
The Buffalo Grove Health Department in conjunction with the Solid Waste Agency of
Northern Cook County (SWANCC) is providing a one-day document destruction event
for residentially-generated paper, such as medical forms, bank statements, personal files,
retired tax forms, etc. This event is open to all Buffalo Grove residents – ID’s will be
checked. No materials from businesses, schools or institutions will be accepted.
This free event is held once a year in the fall. Check the website for additional
information. Paper clips and staples do not need to be removed, but please remove
binders. Also, please have your ID ready, as staff will be checking each vehicle. Workers
will help take paper out of vehicles and place in toters. The documents will then be
loaded into a shredding truck on site. The paper will be cross-shredded, baled, and
recycled.
No business or institutional waste will be accepted.
