Host A Shred Event
What Is A Shred Event?
A shred event provides access to shredding services for people within the community it’s held. A mobile shred truck is stationed at a central, easy-to-access location. Community members can come and receive shredding services, which can be done for a small fee, a donation, or for free.
Shred events are a convenient way to enable your community to dispose of their sensitive documents and personal files safely. They also help raise awareness of the importance of information security and identity theft protection.
Host A Shredding Event
Shredding events are typically annual events, but it depends on who’s hosting them and where it’s held. Shred events are often sponsored by local governments and businesses, as well as charities, nonprofit organizations, and even large companies.
You can also host your own community shredding event. You’ll need to choose a date and location, secure any necessary permits, hire a shredding company, recruit volunteers, and then promote your event. If you want the perfect shredding provider to ensure your shred event is a success, Shred Nations can help.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I host a shred event?
1. Choose a central location that’s easy for everyone in your community to get to, including the elderly and those with mobility challenges. A school, church, or even a local park all serve as great places.

3. You’ll need greeters, promoters, and coordinators, so be sure to ask friends, family, employees, and other community members.
