Mark your calendars, the 2017 shred-a-thon is May 13th!
What should you do with all of your unwanted paperwork? It holds important information, but you just have so much of it that it would take you a while to just tear it a part yourself. Not only that, but is your way of ripping papers a part that effective? Luckily for you, you don't have to worry about it. 9NEWS will be sponsoring the 2017 Shred-a-thon, where you can have all of your important papers ripped to shreds.
The event is put on every year and is a fundraiser for the
Metro-Denver Crime Stoppers program. You can have your important papers shredded AND help to fight crime in your local community. When you donate, you will have the chance to have up to 3 legal-sized paper boxes or regular kitchen garbage bags shredded right then and there.
