Dates Set for 2024 Community Shred Day Events

Veridian will host mobile shred trucks in five communities across Iowa and eastern Nebraska this year for Community Shred Day.  Each event is free and open to the public to promote the importance of shredding unwanted, sensitive documents in protecting your identity from fraud. 

“This is Veridian’s 16^th year hosting Community Shred Day events to remind our communities about the importance of shredding unwanted, sensitive documents and provide an easy opportunity to do it,” said Ashtin Hotek, Veridian’s public relations strategist and Community Shred Day coordinator. 

Attendees are asked to arrive with documents in the cargo area of their vehicle and to remain in their vehicle while event staff unload it and place it in shred bins. To ensure capacity for all who would like to attend, each event can accept no more than two 25-pound containers of documents per person. More tips on how to prepare for Community Shred Day and other shredding opportunities are available at veridiancu.org/shred.

Events are scheduled as listed below.

The shredded material will be recycled into commercial grade paper towels, toilet paper and other paper products. Since Veridian’s first Community Shred Day in 2009, we've shredded an estimated 1.3 million pounds of documents. That equates to approximately 11,235 trees and 1,991 cubic yards of landfill space spaced.
