CVE Residents Invited to Shred Private Documents at Free City Event

Century Village East residents looking for a safe and secure way to dispose of old documents and confidential paperwork will have the perfect opportunity later this month. The City of Deerfield Beach will host its next free shredding event on Friday, July 19, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.at the Bernard Adams Municipal Complex, located at 401 SW 4th Street, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441.

This event offers residents a convenient way to protect their personal information and reduce the risk of identity theft by shredding sensitive materials like outdated financial records, tax documents, medical files, or any other paperwork containing private data. Residents of Century Village East and elsewhere in Deerfield Beach are welcome to participate, but they must bring a valid driver’s license or utility bill to prove local residency.

Each participant may bring up to two boxes of documents for shredding. While paperclips, staples, and file folders are allowed, residents are reminded that all large metal and plastic clips, spiral bindings, and plastic notebook covers must be removed before dropping off their items. City staff and shredding personnel will be on hand to ensure documents are processed quickly and securely on site.

This free service is part of the city's ongoing efforts to promote environmental responsibility and personal data security. Residents are encouraged to arrive early, as lines can form quickly during these popular events. For Century Village East residents doing summer cleaning or downsizing files, July 19 is the ideal chance to dispose of those old papers—safely and at no cost.
