Protect your personal information and clear out the clutter - all from the comfort of your car!

Join TruNorthern on Saturday, September 26th from 9am to 12pm at the Malone branch for a free community shred day. Community members can securely dispose of sensitive documents on-site, with each vehicle able to shred up to five boxes/bags for free. 

Things to know: 

TruNorthern offers shred day as a safe and secure way to help members and non-members prevent valuable information from getting into the wrong hands. 

• Securely destroy documents
  • TruNorthern shred days are intended for securely destroying paper documents. There is no need to remove staples, paperclips, or folders from your documents. Bins, boxes, and containers used to transport documents will be returned. 
• Personal documents only
  • Shred days are for personal documents only. Business or commercial shredding is not allowed. 
• Non-permitted items
