A shredding event is set in advance when our mobile shredding truck comes to your location and performs shredding for all your guests in the community. Community shred events are very important. They help raise awareness about identity theft and other crimes, as well as promote recycling and other green practices. This is due to the fact that shredding paper creates a lot of waste. Community shred events help to set a good example for others to follow by disposing of this waste in a more eco-friendly way. Need to schedule a shred event near me? Our team is here to help.

Cathy D. Dancy, Vice President Human Resources & Facility Management, Care Advantage Your Shred Events Questions, Answered Does VRC offer free community shred events? Collapse The idea that paper shredding is free is surely a misconception. Some providers may offer you cost savings with free shredding events, but they do so at the expense of your security by cutting corners and possibly exposing your confidential information.
