SCDCA is holding a series of free shred events during March. To shred your sensitive documents in a timely manner, each shred event is set up as a drive-through. Attendees are encouraged to stay in their vehicles and have documents ready to be taken by a Shred360 worker. Consumers are limited to three boxes (copy paper box or smaller) or three bags (kitchen trash bag or smaller) per vehicle. There is no need to remove binder clips, paper clips, staples, rubber bands or CDs/DVDs prior to shredding.
