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.
