community shredding event Seattle hosts rely on as we do for hospitals, banks, and government agencies
Our mission:
“To be the most trusted, secure, compliant & cost-effective mobile document destruction service provider.”
Our vision:
“To exceed customer expectations by providing unparalleled document destruction services with absolute transparency and utmost care.”
At every community event, we live our core value:

In the context of community shred days, “customer” includes
every resident, student, senior, and small business owner who trusts us with their personal documents.
How a community shredding event works with Pacific Northwest Shredding
Step 1 – Planning and
Coordination
We start by learning about your:
- Organization type (chamber, city department, bank, school, HOA, community group, etc.)
- Expected number of attendees and volume of documents
- Event location and layout (parking lot, campus, city facility, etc.)
- Preferred date, time, and event structure (free, limited-size, member-only, public, etc.)
From there, we help you shape a Community Shredding Event Seattle plan that fits your goals and your space, including:
- Recommended event duration
- Traffic flow and signage ideas
- Guidelines for what participants can bring
- How to promote the event to your audience or neighborhood
You receive clear, upfront pricing and a written understanding of what’s included—consistent with our commitment to absolute transparency.
Step 2 – Professional Mobile Shredding
On-site
On event day:
- Our
mobile shredding truck arrives early to set up and prepare for participants.
- Uniformed, background-checked personnel with
photo ID badges greet participants and help unload their boxes and bags.
- All documents are placed into secure containers and fed directly into the truck’s shredding system.
Our trucks are equipped with:
- On-board viewing cameras so participants can watch their documents being destroyed
- Lockable cabs and cargo areas
- Equipment that shreds to
OEM specifications of 5/8" cutter width or less
From the moment a participant hands over their documents, the material remains in
NAID member custody until it is completely destroyed.
Step 3 – Education and
Community Engagement
We believe “To Shred is The Law” is really about protecting people—so education is a key part of every event. During your shredding event Seattle residents attend, we can:
- Answer questions about
what to shred and what to keep
- Share tips on
identity theft prevention for individuals and families
- Explain simple guidelines:
- If it has a
name, address, phone number, account number, or personal detail, it’s a candidate for shredding
- Why old mail, credit card offers, and medical documents are high-risk items
This educational component helps your event deliver value long after the shredding truck leaves.
