(Lexington, KY) - The Better Business Bureau of Central & Eastern Kentucky and BBB Accredited Business Secure Shredding Solutions invite the public to bring their documents they would like to have securely destroyed to a FREE "Shred Day" event on Saturday, October 15, 2011 from 10am - 1pm at Kroger, 1650 Bryan Station Road, Lexington, KY. The event will take place rain or shine.
"The BBB is grateful to Secure Shredding Solutions for making their service available to help consumers safely dispose of papers containing sensitive information," said Jack Frank, President & CEO of the BBB of Central & Eastern Kentucky. "We also thank our BBB Accredited Business, Kroger, for providing the location for this community event."
Secure Shredding Solutions, 2428 Palumbo Drive in Lexington, is a facility certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) and the Secure Document Alliance (SDA). "These organizations set the standards for security in the document destruction industry," said Steve Watts of Secure Shredding Solutions. "Our company provides secure document destruction to commercial businesses as well as federal government agencies." Secure Shredding Solutions is a division of Employment Solutions, which helps individuals with disabilities overcome barriers to employment.
The Secure Shredding Solutions will arrive at the Kroger parking lot with a truck mounted with a GPS transponder so its whereabouts are tracked at all times. Trained, licensed workers will collect consumers' materials in locked containers. "At the end of the shred event, we will take the materials to our secure facility for shredding into 5/16 inch strips, even smaller than the industry standard, for extra security. Consumers can rest assured the shredding is documented on digital video," Watts said.
Consumers may bring materials they need shredded in boxes or bags. No need to remove staples, clips, rubber bands, etc. BBB staff will also be on hand to talk with consumers about BBB services and to distribute free BBB tips and information.
