Community Document Shredding Event

Now that tax season is over I've cleaned out my old files and I have tons of personal documents to dispose of - too many to run through my personal shredder. I would imagine other residents have the same issue. Has the association ever thought to sponsor a Document Shred Event? I bet we could get local businesses to sponser Shred-It to come for a Saturday. Heck, I'd even pay $10-$20 to dispose of this information properly. If anyone is interested let me know. Thanks!

 

WOW - what a great idea! I definitely need it....I too have BAGS of stuff to be shredded, too much for my small shredder.....

 

That's an awesome idea!

 

any idea on whether or not we need to get the HOA board involved? and, how we could get local businesses to sponsor the idea? i was thinking we could have it where the new Harris Teeter is to build awareness for the new shopping center. does anyone know who i could contact from business management?

 

I think South Riding had a Community Shred recently. You could try contacting their HOA office; they'd probably be able to put you in touch with the person who spearheaded it.

i don't have his info right here...

 

Ashburn Village is having a "Sheriff's Office Shred Event" on May 31st from 7am-3:30pm at the Mills Community Center. You could contact the Association office at 703-729-7910 for more information.

 

This would be great - I have three GENERATIONS of pack-rattery to shred.

 

Folks,

I just spoke with the sheriff's department community events officer. There is indeed a shredding event on May 31st from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm at the Mills Recreation Center. It's paper only but you can leave paper clips and staples attached. One should not show up with a truck load of docs but the officer said that 3-4 boxes is certainly OK.

Ah, to be able to get rid of years of documents!

 

Terrific! Thanks for the news. We'll certainly take advantage of it.
