Columbia Hosts Fall Shred Day to Tackle Paper Clutter and Support Hurricane Helene Victims

COLUMBIA, S.C.

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by piles of old paperwork, old bills, and various personal documents? If so, mark your calendar for an exciting event happening this Wednesday! On October 9, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Central South Carolina and Charleston is hosting its much-anticipated Fall Shred Day. This is a fantastic opportunity for you and your neighbors to tackle that clutter in your home while also ensuring your sensitive documents are disposed of safely.

Event Details

The event runs from 10 a.m. to noon and will take place at the Second Calvary Baptist Church, conveniently located off North Main Street at 1110 Mason Rd. in Columbia. It’s a perfect time to clear out your office or any space in your home where stacks of papers have accumulated. Bring along a maximum of three copy paper-sized boxes or up to three kitchen trash bags filled with your unwanted paperwork. Whether it’s old bills, floppy disks, CDs, or credit card records, all of these can be safely shredded.

What You Can Bring

But wait, there’s more! Along with your old papers, you can also dispose of opened prescription medication bottles. It’s all about making your decluttering process as thorough as possible while prioritizing safety. The shredding will be carried out by Shred360, ensuring that your documents are securely destroyed, giving you peace of mind and making space in your home.

Help Those in Need

What’s even more wonderful about this event is that it’s not just about cleaning your home. While you’re taking care of your paperwork, you can also extend a helping hand to those affected by the recent Hurricane Helene. The BBB is partnering with the American Red Cross to collect monetary donations for victims of the hurricane during this event. It’s a great chance to not only tidy up but also contribute to a noble cause.

Make a Difference

If you’re planning to attend, you can easily make a monetary donation with your credit or debit card during the Fall Shred Day. Every little bit helps, and your generosity can make a significant difference in the lives of those recovering from the natural disaster. It’s a small gesture from you that can have a big impact on someone else’s life.

Plan Your Visit

So, as you gather your unwanted papers and find a way to make a positive impact in the community, remember to pack up your items in your vehicle and head over to the Second Calvary Baptist Church on Wednesday morning. You’ll not only leave with a sense of accomplishment, but you’ll also play an essential part in helping those in need.

Put on your favorite playlist or grab a friend to make it an outing! Cleaning up can be a bit daunting, but with events like this, it can also turn into an enjoyable experience. Plus, you’ll head home knowing you’ve contributed to your community.

Hope to see you there! Let’s tidy up and show our support for those who need it most!
