Community Shred-It Day
2025-08-09 09:00 - 13:00
A Shred-it truck is coming to town – at our church! Securely shredding papers with confidential and personal information protects your data from thieves. This includes old tax documents, junk mail, photos, unnecessary receipts, old bills, etc. Staples and paper clips are fine. This is a free service for the community provided by the church. Donations accepted with net proceeds going to BEPC Hurricane Helene Victims Relief Fund.
Fraud is a frequent and ongoing threat to both businesses and consumers. Securely shredding papers with confidential and personal information protects data from identity thieves. Any document that includes personal information, such as names, addresses, and account numbers, can be used by identity thieves for fraudulent activities.
After the paper has been securely shredded, the confetti-sized pieces are bundled and provided to paper mills for recycling and repurposing into paper products. During the on-site mobile shredding service, you are welcome to witness the shredding process at the shredding truck.
Easy drive-through & drop off behind the church building at 420 College Drive SW, Banner Elk – adjacent to the Lees-McRae College campus.
