Secure & Shred
Join our shred event to safely and securely dispose of sensitive documents! With the help of Pellitteri's industrial paper shredder, community members were able to shred up to three boxes or bags (50 pounds or less), all while supporting a great cause.
Proceeds from the event benefited the Jefferson County Humane Society, helping care for animals in need — and that’s something we can all feel good about.
