ORNL FCU employees will remove documents from vehicles for shredding on-site. ORNL FCU is not responsible for documents dumped or left unattended.

PAPER ITEMS ONLY

Paper is the only acceptable material for shredding, such as: bank statements, cancelled checked, credit card receipts, tax and insurance records, contracts, and financial statements.

ITEMS NOT PERMITTED

Materials that are not acceptable include: batteries, food waste or trash, pill bottles, needles, grocery bags or plastic, cardboard, hanging folders, large metal objects, glass, electronics, media, or bullets.

EVENT DURATIONS VARY—FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED

Each Community Shred Day features secure, on-site document destruction. ​Length of event is limited to the capacity of the on-site shredding truck(s).
