What: Shred Fest NYC is a free paper shredding event, held to increase public awareness of identity theft prevention and to remind New Yorkers about the importance of shredding documents that contain personal information before throwing them away. In addition to having their documents shredded in truck mounted industrial shredding equipment, New Yorkers will receive information on how to prevent identify theft. The first 5 people to arrive will receive a free paper shredder donated by Staples. All of the shredded paper generated by Shred Fest NYC will be recycled.
