The Sheridan County Library System and Secure Shred of Wyoming announce Shred Fest 2020

The Sheridan County Public Library System and Secure Shred of Wyoming will host a free shredding event in September.

The Shred Fest will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Sheridan Fulmer Library’s parking lot on Wednesday, Sept. 23, according to a news release from the library. 

A shredding truck from Secure Shred of Sheridan will be on hand to securely dispose of documents and records that contain sensitive personal or financial information. Residents can drop off up to two banker boxes of papers to be shredded for free. Additional boxes will be accepted for a $10 per box charge. 

The library asks that participants of the Shred Fest remove plastic, wire or plastic binders, 3-ring notebooks, food or food wrappers, spring clips, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, glossy paper, black binder clips or spiral bindings from items for shredding. However, according to the release, staples and paper clips are acceptable to leave on papers.

The Sheridan County Library System and Secure Shred of Wyoming offer this opportunity to residents  who need to clean out files and know that they will not be used to compromise identity or safety. 

The Sheridan County Library System and Secure Shred of Wyoming remind residents that this event is for individuals and their personal documents, rather than businesses. Businesses can contact Secure Shred at 763-7661 to make arrangements for business shredding. 

Shred Fest is free and open to the public.
