City shredding event is Wednesday

The City of Hendersonville is sponsoring a secure Shred Day for city residents on Wednesday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in the parking lot of Patton Park, 59 E. Clairmont Drive.

American Security Shredding will have its shredding truck in the parking lot to allow residents to dispose of sensitive materials. Residents of Hendersonville are invited to bring up to two boxes (or 50 lbs.) of paper items to be shredded. Suggested items to shred are financial statements, cancelled checks, credit card statements, payroll stubs, insurance forms, old tax returns, forms from doctor's offices, etc. The event is not for businesses. The public can simply drop their documents off or stay and watch their documents destroyed. The event will happen rain or shine. If the shredding truck fills up before 10:30, the event will be over.

To make this part of a community outreach effort, the city is asking that residents who come to the event bring items to donate to the Storehouse and IAM. Suggested items are canned fruits and vegetables, canned chili and beef stew, and toiletry items.
