Grateful Shred V

GRATEFUL SHRED V — a shredding party — will be held on Saturday, May 19, 9 a.m.-12 noon, at the Clara Barton Community Center, 7425 MacArthur Blvd., Cabin John, MD. 

Now that TAX TIME IS OVER, it's time to avoid fraud or identity theft — and clean out your home files. Bring those no-longer needed bills, statements, letters—anything with private, confidential, or sensitive information that you want to get rid of — securely! ALL-SHRED, a noted firm in Frederick, MD, will provide a mobile shredding truck — inside it is a cross-cut shredder that cuts your pages into tiny paper chips. (The shreds are then baled and sent to paper plants to be recycled.)

We ask that you donate $5 per box of paper (that means a one-cubic-foot storage box or the equivalent). Don't have quite a box full? You can have a half-box or the equivalent shredded for $3 or a quarter-box for $2. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Clara Barton Community Center, and proceeds support activities at the Center. For more information, call the Center at 301-229-0010. 

Note: All-Shred has no problem shredding (along with home office papers), paper clips, staples, rubber bands, folders, binder clips, hanging folders (even with metal strips), and labels. But they don't do newspapers, 3-ring binders, cardboard, heavy plastic, heavy metals, boxes, trash, floppy disks, or CDs.
