The NC RC&D partnered with communities and Security Shredding Services in Laurel to provide the first RC&D hosted secure shredding for unwanted, outdated documents. 41 bins of documents were shredded between 5 collection sites. Sites included Merriman, Valentine, Bassett, Stuart and Spencer.
One key benefit of working with Asbra of Security Shredding in Laurel – contents of all bins were shredded on site. Shredding is the most reliable and economic way to keep unwanted and obsolete records containing private information from being read by the wrong people. On site shredding afforded owners of documents to witness complete destruction of their materials as they handed them over. Not all shredder services offer on-site shredding.
Owner Lathan Asbra commented after the collection, “I didn’t know what to expect from this first time trip. After collecting 41 bins of materials, I was impressed with the volume of documents and how well it was organized.”
RC&D Council President, Mike Burge, “We want to thank each of the host communities – Spencer, Stuart, Basset, Valentine and Merriman, for their support in making this event happen. Their financial support and drop location sites made this an event everyone from the area could participate in.”
The RC&D meets Wednesday, January 9th at the Bassett City Meeting Room at 1:40 pm. Included on the agenda will be the proposal to make the paper shredding an annual event. The public is invited to attend.
