    SHRED DAY

    Protect your personal information and clear out the clutter - all from the comfort of your car!

    Join TruNorthern on Saturday, September 26th from 9am to 12pm at the Malone branch for a free community shred day. Community members can securely dispose of sensitive documents on-site, with each vehicle able to shred up to five boxes/bags for free. 

    Things to know: 

    TruNorthern offers shred day as a safe and secure way to help members and non-members prevent valuable information from getting into the wrong hands. 

    • Securely destroy documents
      • TruNorthern shred days are intended for securely destroying paper documents. There is no need to remove staples, paperclips, or folders from your documents. Bins, boxes, and containers used to transport documents will be returned. 
    • Personal documents only
      • Shred days are for personal documents only. Business or commercial shredding is not allowed. 
    • Non-permitted items
      • Non-paper items such as batteries and electronics are not permitted. They are hazardous materials and may damage the shred truck. 

    What to bring:

    • Financial documents
    • Medical papers
    • Tax documents
    • Canceled checks
    • Utility bills
    • Pay stubs
    • Confidential paperwork
    • Junk mail
    • Photos
    • Pretty much anything with your personal info on it

    How it works: 

    Just drive up and the TruCrew will be there to assist in removing your shredding. Please be mindful of the flow of traffic and follow the instructions of the TruCrew. Shred day may end early if the shred truck reaches capacity.
