What Does it Cost to Host a Shredding Event
We charge an hourly rate. The rate is based on the number of shredding trucks and technicians we provide for an event. We only charge for the actual time period of the shredding event. We never charge any travel time to and from the location of a shredding event. We do require a minimum number of hours for events that occur Monday through Friday and slightly higher minimums for events held on weekends. For non-profits and charitable organizations we have some creative ways to make shredding events affordable and even make them profitable.
How to Advertise Your Shredding Event
The more people know about your community shredding event the more successful it will be and that means advertising. Traditional methods still work very well like posting flyers wherever you are permitted to around your local community. Libraries, grocery stores, pharmacies, laundromats or wherever community posting boards are so the public can see the flyers. Contact with local media outlets like radio, newspapers, and TV they can be very help full and maybe they will do a news segment on the event. Use the internet it far more reaching than you realize. Social media sites and local event sites are a great place to get the word out. Contact local business groups like Rotary Clubs or Chambers of Commerce to let their members know about the event and spread the word. Don’t forget about your volunteers helping you with the event get them to use of their own social networks like Facebook or Linkedin to help people know about the event.
What is a Shredding Event?
It is simply a community block party to destroy private records. It is usually held at parks, parking lots, firehouses, police stations, town recycle centers, or anywhere there is open space and plenty of parking. FileShred will provide one or more of our paper shredding trucks with a number of our bins for the paper to be placed in and destroyed. Our staff will greet invited guests or the general public to take their papers and shred them on the spot.
Your Shredding Event is also a Recycling Event
The shredding event is over and you have helped your community become more aware of the importance of identity protection. There is one other benefit you should make all your guests aware of, Protecting the Environment. All of the documents and files that have been destroyed at your event are going to be recycled. That recycled paper will be used to make other paper products and reduce the need to harvest trees. It’s a win win situation.
