Another awesome Spring Shred Day is in the books I want to thank all the awesome volunteers who helped pull it off.
On behalf of Austin ARMA:
And from our wonderful partner, Balcones Resources:
Additionally, thanks to our partner Austin Energy, for including it in the utility bills and AARP for publicizing it to their members.
We could not have pulled off the event without the help of everyone above or without the participation of our citizens!
We had a productive day with 407 cars visiting us. The total weight of all three shred trucks came out to be 8,760lbs and the recycling truck weighed in at 1,162lbs.
We also raised a total of $2,284.81 with $1,182.81 to Austin ARMA and $1,182 to the Capital Area Food Bank.
Stay tuned for details on Fall Shred Day coming soon!

Stay tuned here on our website or any of our social media platforms for announcements and weather advisories leading up to the event. | What is Shred Day?Shred Day is an event sponsored by our chapter and business partners semi-annually to provide a free service to our community and neighbors. Destruction of confidential personal records can be troublesome, especially if you are using a small dysfunctional home shredder, or if you don't have access to a shredder at all. We've got you! |

The Express LaneThe express lane is a faster alternative where citizens of Austin and the surrounding communities can drop off their personal confidential records to be placed in bins on a truck that will be driven back to the secured and bonded shred vendors' facilities to be shred within 72 hours. The only difference between the express lane and the on-site shredding option is that express lane items are not shred on-site but will be securely transported to the shred vendor facility within 72 hours. Both options ensure the security and protection of your documents as all of our vendors are insured and bonded professionals that provide these services to hospitals, banks and the government offices around our community. Note: This option is not applicable for all Shred Day events. |
