Shred Day in Washington DC
Shredding events are common in cities across the U.S. DC community members come together to safely shred their documents while raising awareness on the importance of information security. Companies and organizations throughout the east coast sponsor shred events to help keep their local communities safe, secure, and aware.
What is a Shred Day?
A shred day is when a mobile shredding truck comes to a particular location and shreds the paperwork of individuals from around the community. These events are sponsored by Washington based companies, non-profits, and other organizations who pay to have a paper shredding truck stop at a location for several hours.
Typically, shred events are open to the general public, but the rules are established by the company who organizes the event. An average event lasts 2-3 hours and is typically held on a Saturday morning at a central, public location.
