Goodwill Shredding Service is holding a Shred Event on Saturday, April 30 from 11a.m. to 2p.m. at the Goodwill parking lot located at 1901 Lehigh Street in Allentown.

For $5 a bag or box (sizes can vary), individuals or businesses can have confidential papers, such as bank and credit card statements, shredded. It’s a first come, first serve basis and appointments are not needed. There is no limit to the amount of bags or boxes and payment can be cash, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover.  

Goodwill Shredding Service is certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) as well as the Secure Document Alliance. Last year, Goodwill shredded more than 1.2 million pounds of paper and cardboard. All documents collected at Shred Day will be securely shredded at their Harrisburg Facility.
