Paper Shred Events

Safely Shred Your Old Documents

Bank First will be hosting FREE shred events throughout the year! While these events are free and open to the public, Bank First is requesting that participants bring a non-perishable food donation in exchange for each bag of personal documents shredded. All food donations will go to area food pantries. 

With the risk of identity theft and fraud becoming more prevalent in today’s society, Bank First is proud to offer community residents a way to properly dispose of personal documents while also giving back to local food pantries. All types of sensitive documentation will be accepted for shredding, including old tax returns, bank and credit card statements, medical records, etc.

Confidential Records, an AAA-certified shredding company, will be providing mobile shredding units to destroy all personal and confidential documents. The company employs licensed and bonded document-destruction specialists and guarantees the secure removal of the destroyed documents. The following items cannot be shredded: black butterfly clips, hanging file folders, 3-ring binders, hard drives, magnetic tapes, and any plastic items.

To ensure enough shredding space is available for the public, businesses are asked to not participate. Events will be held rain or shine and participants are welcome to stay and watch the process if they wish.
