Community Shred Day

Get an early start on Earth Day by taking advantage of a free document shredding service this month.

Cintas Document Management and Cadence Bank are hosting the fifth-annual "Community Shred Day" event on April 19, 22 and 26.

Memphis residents and businesses can bring unwanted documents to the events, where Cintas will securely shred them for free.

The Cadence branch at 7878 Farmington Blvd. will accept documents April 19 from 9 a.m.-noon; the branch at 1516 Union Ave. will accept documents on April 22 from 9 a.m.-noon; and the 591 S. Mendenhall branch on April 26 from 9 a.m.-noon.

Shredding sensitive documents like bank statements, etc. can reduce identity theft issues and the load on local landfills. All of the paper received at these events are recycled into paper pulp for re-use. During last year's event, over 50,000 pounds of documents were shredded.

The "Community Shred Day" limits each person to five boxes of paper documents.
