Why Host a Community Shred Event

A community shred event is a great way to give people a convenient method to dispose of sensitive documents. Hosting an event starts with a planning process. Our team will work with you to develop the day and location for your shredding event. Next comes promotion throughout social media, community organizations, and local businesses to bring as many people out as possible.

On the day of your shredding event, our truck will arrive so that attendees can start dropping off their paper documents. Having staff to help manage the drop-off process will keep traffic moving smoothly and ensure your documents reach our shredding truck safely. All of our shredding events provide on-site shredding services.

Businesses, nonprofit organizations, schools, community groups, and local governments can all host shred events. Shredding days, customer appreciation events, employee document disposal events, and nonprofit fundraisers are all great reasons to have a shredding event.

"We had TrueShred come out to our office and destroy about 1,200 pounds of documents on site, and I have to say we were thoroughly impressed with the process and how quickly they finished! We figured having numerous bins of documents ready for them would take quite some time, but they were fast, didn't run into…"

From the first phone call to the pricing email being sent within 5 minutes of that call ending, to the lovely folks who came out and shredded about 50 boxes of old paperwork in no time whatsover, everything has been professional, easy, economical, and thorough. I highly recommend them for any shredding projects…"
