Citywide Clean Up

The annual Granite Shoals Spring Clean Up, set for Saturday, April 1, will again offer document shredding.

From 8 a.m.-noon, citizens can access the dumpsters and the shred station from the main city hall entrance, 2221 North Phillips Ranch Road. A current water bill and Driver License will be required for admission. No contractors will be allowed.

“Condor Document Services will be on site until 11 a.m.,” said City Secretary Elaine Simpson. “Residents who want secure shredding should bring their documents in boxes and all binders and large fasteners should be removed.”

Almost any refuse will be accepted, including bagged trash and leaves, furniture, appliances without Freon, scrap metal and even toilets. Tires with or without rims will be accepted for a $3 recycle fee.

Granite Shoals residents will find a special feature at the Fall Citywide Clean Up Saturday, Oct. 15.

“We will have a Shred Mobile unit to shred old documents for free,” said City Manager Ken Nickel.

“Shredding documents and even old mail can help fight identity theft,” explained City Secretary Elaine Simpson. “Please remove any binders, notebooks or large fasteners from the material you wish to have shredded.”

The clean up event will take place from 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, but the shredding will close down at 11 a.m.

Citywide clean up is conducted twice a year in Granite Shoals through a monthly utility fee and a grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
