The City of Corpus Christi's Solid Waste Services is hosting a free community paper shredding event for city residents on Saturday, June 13, in partnership with RBFCU and Shred-IT.
The event runs alongside the city's Litter Critter bulk waste drop-off at the W.B. Ray High School parking lot, 1002 Texan Trail, next to the Performing Arts Center.
Paper shredding runs from 9 a.m. to noon, though organizers note shredding may end early if trucks fill up. Residents are encouraged to bring confidential documents such as bank statements, payroll records, legal papers, and credit card statements.
The Litter Critter event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Organizers say cardboard recycling will also be offered at this event. Residents should bring clean, empty, flattened cardboard boxes free of Styrofoam or packing materials.
Residents should be prepared to offload their own items. Commercial hauling is not permitted.

- Up to 4 standard tires
- Metal items and household appliances
