A Community Shred-it event is often ‘free’ to residents who are invited to bring a box or two of confidential papers that need to be securely destroyed.
Fee-Based Shredding Events
Some Community Shred-it events are planned to help raise funds for a charity, creating multiple benefits. Community members who bring documents for secure shredding might be asked for a small donation to the charity.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Community Shredding Events
After the paper has been securely shredded, the confetti-sized pieces are bundled and recycled into paper products.
Free shredding is a misconception. Some providers may offer you the cost savings, but they do so at the expense of your security, by cutting corners and exposing your confidential information. At Shred-it, we follow NAID-AAA certified security protocols to help ensure your information is securely destroyed and protected.
