There is a LOT of paper out there that needs to be shredded. I see it everyday with my clients. Here are TWO more upcoming shredding events in June.
Saturday, June 13, 9-12 am: THE GRATEFUL SHRED II, Clara Barton Community Center, 7425 MacArthur Boulevard, Cabin John, MD (301-229-0010)
All proceeds go to support activities at the Clara Barton Community Center. Bring your materials or you may drop off material to shred, starting at 8 A.M. Requested voluntary donation: $5 per box of paper (a one-cubic-foot storage box or the equivalent). Or you can have a half-box or the equivalent shredded for $3 or a quarter-box for $2. Paper bags are OK containers.
The following can be shredded along with office paper: staples, paper clips, rubber bands, folders, binder clips, hanging folders (even with metal strips), and labels. But not newspapers, 3-ring binders, cardboard, heavy plastic, heavy metals, boxes, trash, floppy disks, or CDs.
Saturday, June 20, 8-11 am: NBC4 Safe & Secure Community Shred, Northern Virginia Community College, 8333 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA.
You may bring up to five boxes of personal papers for shredding (no CDs or credit cards). It's the best way to protect your identity...and it's good for the environment too!

Also, the web site FileStoreShred.com maintains a list of free paper shredding and electronics recycling events in the state and from coast to coast across the country. Similar to what is mentioned above, these events are faster and easier than trying to dispose of this stuff at home. Up until now, it was never this easy to find a shred or recycling event when you needed one.
It is a great idea having shredding events for charity. Recently I read about people throwing shredding parties. Maybe people can get a few local businesses' crosscut paper shredder together to raise awareness of a charity or to donate to a charity.
