Shred-Fest: Date, Time, and Location

Shred-Fest is held four times per year, on the first Saturday in February, May, August, and November from 8 a.m. to noon, or until the shred truck is full.

Shred-Fest is held at the Victor Valley Materials Recovery Facility, (MRF), 17000 Abbey Ln., Victorville, CA.

The Shred-Fest is free to all Victor Valley residents.

Shredding

Bring up to four (4) 20-pound bags or boxes of paper documents to shred for FREE. No business materials. Documents are shredded on site. Please load your documents for shredding in the trunk of your car to make unloading as easy and efficient as possible. Remove binders, large metal clips, and non-paper items like credit cards, CD's, etc. Staples are ok.

Bags or boxes with non-paper items WILL NOT be accepted.

Compost Giveaway

There will be FREE compost at the MRF during the Shred-Fest events. Burrtec attendants will assist with loading the compost. Be sure to bring your own containers to hold the compost. Hard-sided containers such as buckets or trash containers are best as bags can break. The giveaway is for Victor Valley residents only — no businesses or commercial vehicles. Limit is 50 gallons total.
