Free Shred Day Starts at 1 PM — Plus Evening Hearings
Radcliff, KY · September 1, 2026
Clear skies and mid-90s heat greet the first morning of September across town. If your filing cabinets are overflowing with old paperwork, this afternoon offers a quick solution.
The Lead
Hardin County opens its annual free document shredding event today starting at 1:00 PM at the county government complex on Provident Way. Designed to help households securely dispose of sensitive paperwork, outdated tax files, and medical records without charge, the drive-through setup processes materials directly on-site with industrial shred trucks.
County organizers ask drivers to time their arrivals strictly after 1:00 PM, as traffic staging areas cannot accommodate early vehicle queues along the roadway. Residents may bring up to five standard file boxes of personal paperwork per vehicle, though commercial documents and non-paper items like plastic binders and heavy clips must be sorted out in advance. Trucks will operate until full capacity is reached, making early afternoon the ideal window to swing through.
