Rockdale County to Host Paper Shredding and Electronic Recycling Day for 2025
ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. – Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful (KCRB), in partnership with Rockdale County, will host the annual Paper & Electronic Shredding Day on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at 1400 Parker Road, Conyers, GA 30094. The free, half-day event is open to Rockdale residents and Business owners only, offering a safe and secure way to dispose of sensitive documents and select electronic items.
Paper Shredding: Citizens are limited to (4) four banker boxes per vehicle, on a first-come, first-served basis. A Cut Above Shredding, a professional paper shredding company, will have two trucks on site to provide on-site shredding. All items will be securely handled under the close supervision of government staff. Please note that once the shredding trucks are full, shredding services for the day will end. Make sure to remove any binder clips, adhesives, and other non-paper materials before drop-off.
Electronics collection will be provided by Work4Eli, a professional electronic recycling company, which will be accepting certain items for secure off-site disposal, including Christmas lights. Please note that electronic disposal will not take place during the event. Additionally, residents may drop off electronics directly at Work4Eli’s facility (Monday – Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.) at no cost. Certificates of destruction are not provided for general drop-offs. The following items will not be accepted at this event: CRT/box TVs/ computer monitors, hazardous materials, large household appliances, or kitchen appliances without electronic components.
All participants must present a photo ID as proof of residency in Rockdale or a business address. This event is weather-dependent. If inclement weather occurs, the shredding trucks will be rendered inoperable, and the event will be rescheduled.
