Host a Shred Event

What Is a Shred Event?

Shred events are a unique and rewarding way to connect with your community, customers, and to strengthen your brand. Identity and intellectual property theft is on the rise, and a shred event is an opportunity to help your community protect against this type of threat in a way that is convenient for them. Shred events can be sponsored by businesses, civic organizations, or non-profits, and can be held for a variety of purposes. By partnering with Merlin Shredding on your next shred event, you’ll provide high-quality, secure shredding services to your ideal audience and strengthen the relationship with your community.

How Do Shred Events Work?

Merlin Shredding provides simplified, yet highly secure shredding services via mobile shredding vehicles. As your shred event partner, we come out to a location that best meets your event goals where we provide complete, secure shredding services to your community or customer base. These events can last anywhere from a half-day to several days, depending on the event. You can decide to offer your audience free shredding services, charge a small fee per box, or ask for donations.

Why Host a Shred Event?

There are several great reasons to host a shred event for your community or customer base:

1 - Connect with your community through information security education

Whether it’s personal items such as tax documents, old passports, or bank statements, or business items such as proprietary documentation, intellectual property information, or branded items, you can help your community understand the risks of information security through a shred event. This type of education impacts everyone, and raising awareness helps protect our communities.

2 - Promote brand awareness and values

A shred event is a great way to promote awareness for your business or organization by connecting with existing and potential customers. By offering an alternative way for your audience to protect themselves against identity theft, you are reinforcing your brand’s values through care of your community and the environment. And by partnering with a reputable mobile shredding provider such as Merlin Shredding, you are solidifying your brand’s reputation through quality customer service.

3 - Encourage responsible recycling

Shredding isn’t just about protecting theft, it also has an environmental impact. Merlin Shredding uses high security shredding methods, essentially turning documents into confetti making it impossible to reconstruct. The remains are then recycled, significantly reducing environmental impact through waste.
