  • Don your face mask and place items to be shredded into disposable, cardboard boxes. You don’t need to remove staples.
  • Put the boxes into the trunk of your car.
  • Drive to Park Avenue, and, from Park Avenue, turn onto Jorss Place.
  • Turn left into the Herndon Harbor House parking lot, where cars will line up for the shred event.
  • Stay in your car and follow directions from volunteers. Traffic flow will eventually take you into the Herndon Senior Center parking lot, where the shred truck will be parked.
  • When it’s your turn, put your car in park, stay in your car, and pop your trunk. Someone will remove your items for the shredder.
  • Exit the Herndon Senior Center parking lot as directed by volunteers.

Herndon Village Network (HVN) is the local village nonprofit serving senior citizens. For a one-time $20 registration fee, seniors have access to unlimited private transportation on weekdays and weekends, day and night. This independence makes visiting the doctor, going grocery shopping, visiting friends and family, etc. easier, and—with HVN’s friendly, vetted drivers—much more fun.

For more information about obtaining transportation and/or volunteering to be a driver, please visit https://herndonvillagenetwork.org. Donations are welcome at https://herndonvillagenetwork.org/donate/.
