Shred-A-Thon and Prescription Drug Drop-Off
The Town of Davie is hosting three free on-site Shred-A-Thons and Prescription Drug Drop-off events for Davie residents interested in getting personal and confidential documents destroyed and safely disposing of medications.
Protect yourself from identity theft by bringing your confidential documents for on-site shredding. Sensitive documents can include pay stubs, canceled checks, financial and credit card statements, paid bills, old tax filings, and other documents that may include confidential information such as account numbers or Social Security numbers.
The prescription drug drop-off program collects unwanted prescription drugs from the public so that they can be disposed of properly and in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations.
