West Chester UPS Store Holds Free Shredding Event

Boxes of documents taking over your garage? Get it taken care of for free on Saturday.

With tax season now thankfully behind most of us, the UPS Store in West Chester is offering residents an opportunity to shred every last vestige of the stressful time. (Check the IRS list on how long you should keep documents.)

On Saturday, the event will be held at the store's 929 South High Street location. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Iron Mountain, a local information management and document shredding firm, will be at the store to perform an on-site shredding of all the sensitive documents that pile up fast and can be maddeningly difficult to destroy.

At the weekend event, the first 25 pounds of documents will be shredded free of charge, and anything over and above for just 35 cents a pound.
