Greencastle gears up for upcoming Community Shred Event

The Community Shred Event, scheduled for Saturday, September 9, at the Putnam County 4-H Fairgrounds, is poised to provide individuals and businesses with a valuable opportunity to safely dispose of confidential documents and contribute to a worthwhile cause.

Hosted by the Putnam County Board of REALTORS and made possible through the sponsorship of North Salem State Bank and Earl & Co, CPA, the event aims to address the growing need for proper document management.

Scheduled to take place from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, the Community Shred Event promises a streamlined and convenient experience. Attendees are encouraged to bring any documents they wish to have securely destroyed, including tax returns, bank statements, credit card information, and other sensitive materials. To ease the process, small binder clips, staples, and paperclips can remain attached, while larger binder clips and plastic folders/binders are to be removed.

Upon arrival at the Putnam County 4-H Fairgrounds, participants will be guided by event staff to designated areas for document drop-off. Vehicles can remain stationary as trained volunteers unload the materials and transfer them to the pre-shred bin. Importantly, all shredding will take place on-site, ensuring the highest level of security for attendees' confidential information.

While this is a free event for non-business entities, donations are encouraged. All donations contribute to Putnam County Board of REALTORS Scholarship fund.

Businesses within the community are also encouraged to participate in this initiative. While business disposal is limited to ten boxes per entity, each box requires a minimum donation of $5. This contribution not only supports the event but also contributes to the Putnam County Board of REALTORS Scholarship fund, an investment in the educational future of local students.

The organizers express their gratitude to the Putnam County 4-H Fair Association for graciously providing the fairgrounds as the venue for this community event.
