EcoFest FAQs
Do I have to be a Sandy Springs resident to shred my materials?
No! Anyone is welcome to shred their materials.
What is the shredding limit?
Shredding is limited to 10 boxes, or the equivalent in bags, for a maximum of 400lbs per vehicle.
Can I bring my documents ahead of the event date and drop them off to be recycled at the event?
Unfortunately not. Our small staff does not have the time or manpower to transport your materials to the event site on your behalf. However, we do have document shredding year-round at our recycling center outside of this event for $0.50 per pound. Learn more here.
Is there a cost to shred my documents?
No, but donations are gratefully accepted and help support our mission of providing education and conservation programs to our community.
Do I need to remove staples, paperclips or binder clips?
Nope! You can leave those in, however all paper should be removed from 3- ring binders prior to arrival. 3-ring binders will not be accepted.
Will I get my boxes back?
We will return any containers you want back, and we can recycle any cardboard containers for you.
Is there a size limit for the boxes we put the documents in?
The weight limit per box is 40 lbs. The shape and material of the box is up to you, but should be able to be lifted by one person. Documents can be in bags and do not need to be in boxes, but please follow this guideline for quantity. If you are delivering your documents to be shredded in cardboard boxes and do not want them back, we are able to recycle them for you.
