Shred your documents for free in Johns Creek

Buying a paper shredder can be expensive, so it’s easy for papers to pile up in the homes of folks who don’t have one.

However, if you’re a resident of Johns Creek, you can get rid of all those sensitive documents for free soon.

On Saturday, Nov. 18, the city is partnering with Keep Johns Creek Beautiful and Panera Bread for a free document shredding event.

The shredding will happen from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Panera Bread on 11715 Medlock Bridge Road.
