Only paper is accepted for shredding at the event, and it will be removed from trunks and trunk beds. Each vehicle at the event is permitted to deliver up to five banker boxes or bags of paper, according to organizers.
Attendees must keep all containers in which they deliver documents, but paper clips, rubber bands and staples do not need to be removed from documents before shredding.
