PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. — Calvert County will host three additional paper shredding events in the next few months, following up on events from earlier this year.
The following shred events will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The events are rain or shine, and there are no options for rescheduling.
- Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, at Mount Hope Convenience Center, located at 96 Pushaw Station Road in Sunderland
- Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, at Huntingtown High School, located at 4125 Solomons Island Road in Huntingtown
- Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, at Appeal Landfill, located at 401 Sweetwater Road in Lusby
In order to participate in the shredding event, you must bring proof of Calvert County residency or proof that your business is located in the county.
Businesses are allowed up to five banker boxes of paper per business (or the equivalent volume of five banker boxes in alternate containers). There is no limit for residents. Certificates of destruction are available upon request.
Almost any kind of dry paper, paper clips, staples and wire spiral-bound items will be accepted. The county cannot accept binders, hardback book binding, binder clips, plastic bags or corrugated cardboard.
Paper shredding can help protect confidential information for businesses and individuals alike. Shredding documents can help protect you from fraud as well as financial or identity theft, and experts recommend shredding anything with identifying or financial information, as well as medical records, travel itineraries or résumés that would help scammers steal your identity.
