I have two questions for You
Library Champion,
I have two questions for you.
First, have you gone through your things during the pandemic and found documents you would like to safely get rid of? Who hasn’t. But you need a safe and secure way to dispose of them. Putting them in the trash isn’t safe and burning them in a burn barrel will take forever.
Now you need a place to shred your documents and I ask my second question: Where do you go? I can’t name a place nearby that shreds documents. The places that do are a long drive and aren’t cheap.
Your solution: we have an industrial shredder that can take care of that! Click here to schedule an appointment. We recently helped a local office shred just a few of their documents....
Supporting your local library keeps great services like this happening.
For just $20 a box or $1 per pound, we can safely and securely shred your documents and help you clear out some space! What a deal! Click here to schedule an appointment.
Our shredder is P5 security level, designed for shredding very sensitive and very confidential, commercial corporate, and/ personal data. Highest level security needed for commercial destruction. Paper is shredded into confetti.
How to get your documents shredded:
-
Bring your documents to the library. A library staff member will bring your documents inside.
-
Library staff shred your documents and place the remains in a plastic bag.
-
Staples, paperclips, spiral bindings, file folders without metal are fine to leave in.
-
You receive a certificate stating the day and time your documents were shredded and the bag of your shredded documents. Please note that shredded paper is not accepted by all recycling services. If you’d like, we can dispose of the bag of shredded documents. Just let us know.

Again: what a deal! Supporting your local library keeps great services like this happening.
Curious what this beast looks like? It’s smaller and quieter than you’d imagine…
