The Renton Police Department has announced the cancellation of its upcoming Shred-A-Thon and Prescription Drug Take-Back event that was scheduled for this weekend. Officials cited unforeseen issues as the reason for the cancellation, emphasizing that the event is an important community service they plan to bring back in the future.
Residents are encouraged to use alternative options for document shredding through regional providers, and for safe disposal of unused medications, they can access mail-back programs, pick up disposal packages at the police department, or visit authorized drug take-back locations.
The department apologized for the inconvenience and thanked the community for its understanding while reaffirming its commitment to public safety and environmental responsibility.
