Free Paper Shredding Event

The Chamber of St. Matthews and community partner Eclipse Bank, will host a paper shredding event on Saturday, April 29th at the St. Matthews Community Center located at 310 Ten Pin Lane.

A+ Paper Shredding will be on hand with two trucks from 9-11 AM or until the two trucks are full. Small businesses, non-profits, churches, and St. Matthews residents are welcome to participate.

Participants may shred up to two boxes of documents per household or business. Boxes should be no larger than "banker boxes" or 24 x 12 x 10 inches. Additional boxes can be shredded for a $10 donation. Donations will benefit Brown Park reforestation.

This is a drive-through event. Our staff will unload your materials and take them to the shredding truck. Please have your papers easily accessible. Heavy traffic is expected at this event. If you wish to see your papers destroyed, you must park your car after unloading and walk back to the shredding trucks. All papers will be destroyed on-site, and the paper fiber is recycled.

Documents that should be shredded include those with personal information such as your social security number, medical history, utility service account or credit card information, and junk mail for credit card offers.

Shredding should not be used for non-sensitive documents such as cash receipts and most junk mail. Do not include items such as phone books, magazines, file folders, and 3-ring binders.

Due to extreme fire hazard, A+ Shredding has zero tolerance for house-hold batteries mixed in with your papers. If a battery is found, that box of paper will not be shredded and will be returned to its owner. No metal, glass, or plastic should be mixed in with papers.
