Fort Worth Shred Day Didn't Happen - Why?

[WBIChappie]

The AARP TX Texas Shred 'Em Event original date was cancelled because of weather and rescheduled for May 2, 2026.

I cancelled my golf game and drove over an hour on May 2, 2026 for the first rescheduled day only to find no one there.

What happened? Was it cancelled and I missed the announcement? Is the shred day going to be rescheduled again?

Is there going to be an actual event we can attend?

I emailed the txaarp@aarp.org but have not received a response.

Thanks.

Since you had to drive over an hour to get there, maybe you're not a resident of Fort Worth?  But Fort Worth provides free shredding to people:  "Show a recent Fort Worth water bill or current driver’s license with a Fort Worth address and have an active sanitation account."  They have four drop-off locations.

Maybe wherever you live has a similar program.  Or maybe it would be cheaper and definitely less hassle to pay for shredding instead of a 2-hour round trip by car.

 I have a Fort Worth address but do not live in the city limits so that is not an option. The solution would be for the advertised service to actually be provided.

I apologize for my rookie mistake.  I'll try to do better in the future, by just joining in the complaining.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it got quietly cancelled again because of weather or staffing. I always double check these free events the morning of now after getting burned once myself lol
