Find a Shred Day Near You
Shred Events allow community members to safely and conveniently dispose of their personal files and keep their private information safe. At shred events, a mobile shred truck is stationed at a central location so community members can bring in their documents for a small fee, for free, or for a donation. It is a great way to help the community. To find a shred event near you, look through local news listings in the paper or online and search for a Shred Day or a Shred Event.
