What is a Community Document Shredding Event?
Consumer fraud and identity theft are putting communities at risk. To raise awareness and to promote privacy protection, Shred-it organizes free and fee-based Community Shred-it events, offering paper shredding for residents.
Shred-it partners with organizations all over Canada to host local events where people can destroy their personal documents. Some of our shredding events also partner with local charities where donations are collected for a worthy cause.
Free For Residents
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.
Shredding Events for Charities
Some Community shredding events are planned to help raise funds for a charity, helping local businesses and communities. Community members who bring documents for secure shredding might be asked for a small donation to the charity.
