Shred Fest

It can be risky to leave sensitive personal documents out for curbside pick-up. Shred Fest allows you to safely dispose of your documents in an environmentally responsible way.

At the event, volunteers unload your car and place your documents into a locked container. Once full, the container is sent to an Iron Mountain truck, where the contents are securely shredded. The shredded paper is then recycled, along with any boxes or bags.

Note: If you wish to unload your materials personally or witness your documents being shredded, please inform the event staff and remain in your vehicle for further instruction.

Limit of five bags/boxes of personal documents per person:

• Paper (any color)
• File folders (any color)
• Staples, rubber bands, and small binder clips are OK

Do not bring:

• Hardcover books
• Phonebooks
• Three-ring binders
• Large binder clips
• CDs or DVDs
• Metals
• Plastics
• Hazardous materials
• Trash
• Pre-shredded paper

For confidential shredding services for University departments or offices, call Facilities Customer Service Center at (585) 273-4567.
