We all have a stack of papers sitting in our home that we don’t need anymore.

Maybe it’s a few pieces of mail that you know are probably junk, but you think there may be some of your information on them. Or maybe it’s an old lease from three apartments ago. Maybe it’s a box of your homework from elementary school that your parents held on to for whatever reason.

On Feb. 17 in Johns Creek, you can safely shred all that unwanted paper for free, if you’re a resident of the city.
