Saturday was the 9th annual free shred day at Iron Mountain's facility in Mercer Business Park (luckily, I knew where it was from shooting the complex when it was under construction). It was an impressive operation and I left completely satisfied that my documents were shredded right before my eyes.
The event was co-sponsored by Fox News and Comerica Bank. They, in turn had also supported their community food pantry, the North Texas Food Bank. I had medical, old tax records, old bills paid 15 years ago (before the days of electronic billing known as going paperless).
The lines went fast. It was a stay in your car type thing. The volunteers brought a bin-cart right to the car, dumped the paper into the cart and then pushed the cart to the the big truck that lifted it to the top and dumped it into the shredder. It was out to the road where the Farmers Branch police stopped the I-35E service road traffic and I was on my way!
I've already started a box for next year! And this time, I'll bring some food cans for the North Texas Food Bank.
