In response to resident interest in confidential paper shredding, Peel Region is introducing a more convenient and cost-effective service model this summer and fall.
Rather than hosting our traditional one-day events this October, the Region of Peel is running a 3-month pilot, where residents can drop off confidential paper for shredding at any time during regular CRC hours. This will be available at select Community Recycling Centres (CRCs).
Pilot overview
- June 29 – October 4, 2026
- Locations: Heart Lake CRC, Bolton CRC, and Fewster CRC (one in each municipality)
- Residents bring their confidential papers for shredding near the Salvation Army donation drop-off area
What residents can expect
- Flexible, daily drop‑off access during regular CRC operating hours
- Ability to bring up to 2 banker boxes per day
- A more consistent and accessible option for a high-demand program
Service and financial benefits
- Expanded service availability compared to limited event dates
- Lower overall program costs while meeting resident demand
- Opportunity to scale the program in future with minimal additional investment, based on participation
