Shred Events Coming to a Community Near You

Shred events, also commonly referred to as shredding events or Shred days, are becoming one of the best choices for local organizations and businesses to expose their brand and message to the surrounding community. Identity thefts are the highest it’s ever been and are showing no signs of slowing down.

A shred event is a great opportunity for the community to bring in all their sensitive and confidential documents in bulk to be properly destroyed and recycled.

Shred Event by Definition

A shred event is an organized outreach event in which guests from around the community are allowed to bring in their papers to be shredded, either for a small fee or for free. Typically, the guests will bring in anywhere from one or two boxes of papers that include items such as:

• Old tax forms and receipts (after 7 years)
• Bank statements
• Credit card statements
• Medical records
• Medical bills
• Utility bills
• Junk mail
• Old pay stubs

At the location of the event, a mobile shredding truck is on-site to shred away all the documents quickly and securely. Guests see the shredding in action and can feel safe knowing that their documents are obliterated.
