Discard documents safely at Community Shred Day

Veridian will continue our schedule of 2025 Community Shred Day events this September in four communities across Iowa and eastern Nebraska. Each event is free and open to the public to promote the importance of shredding unwanted, sensitive documents in protecting your identity from fraud. 

“Shredding documents that contain your personal information is one easy way to protect yourself from fraud,” said Jennifer Roberts, Veridian’s public relations team lead and Community Shred Day coordinator. "We host Community Shred Day events as a reminder and an opportunity, and we're happy to see so many people take advantage of it.”

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.

Fall Community Shred Day 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 1.5 million pounds of documents. That equates to approximately 12,915 trees and 2,288 cubic yards of landfill space saved.
