It's time to declutter! Take advantage of our Manatee County Clerk Colonneso's Shredding and Electronic Recycling Event! It's FREE!

The Office of Angelina "Angel" Colonneso, Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, will hold its free biannual document shredding event on Saturday, April 20, from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at the Manatee County Fairgrounds.
At the Clerk's Community Shred Day, residents may shred up to two standard-sized bankers' boxes (measuring 12 inches by 10 inches by 15 inches) of personal documents. Accepted items include documents of any color or type of paper, plastic credit cards and IDs.
This event will also offer electronic recycling and hard drive destruction. Residents may recycle electronic devices such as computer monitors, towers/desktops, cell phones, tablets, laptops, printers, smartwatches, and CDs.
Hard drives will be destroyed on-site.
Please note that binders, junk mail, magazines, newspapers, speakers, cable boxes, and TVs will not be accepted. Paper clips, staples, rubber bands, labels, and file tabs do not need to be removed from documents.
For the safety and efficiency of all event attendees, drop-offs are not permitted. Attendees are required to remain in their vehicles with their documents and electronics until a staff member or volunteer securely collects their items for shredding or recycling.
Vital Records Control, a professional shredding company certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (AAA Certified), will provide the shredding, electronic recycling, and hard drive destruction services for this event.
"This event serves a crucial purpose. Safeguarding personal information," said Angel Colonneso, Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. "In today's digital age, protecting sensitive data is paramount, and the Clerk's Community Shred Day event provides a secure and reliable means for residents to dispose of confidential documents to reduce their risk of identity theft."
Since 2018, the Clerk’s Office has proudly offered free document shredding services to all residents of Manatee County. For more information and event details, please visit the Clerk’s website at https://www.manateeclerk.com/about-us/clerk-events/.

It’s time to play, Guess Where Your Executive Director is Today? We wish the game was real but we are so excited about it, we are spilling the beans! Today, we took a personal tour at the developing Palmetto Marriott Resort & Spa! The view was spectacular and this shot is from the future Oyster Reef restaurant up in the “captain’s quarterdeck” overlooking the Manatee River to the south and views of the Skyway Bridge to the north. We can’t wait to visit and partake in all this resort will have to offer our members! Pools, mini golf, shopping, concerts, spa, restaurants, coffee shop, event space, ballrooms, and ferry access to Anna Maria and more! Did we say this resort was designed to appear as a cruise ship in port? Centrally located between St Pete, Tampa, and Sarasota, too.
