Gilmore, Channel 3 News, and your BBB® are offering individuals an opportunity to shred personal and sensitive documents on Saturday, March 28th. This event is free to the public and will run from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Fairgrounds on Lewis Turner Blvd.

Each vehicle may bring 2 bags/2 small boxes that total no more than 50 pounds of personal and sensitive information to be shredded. Documents to be shredded should be removed from binders, but staples and paper clips are acceptable. Please do not tie bags or tape boxes.

Volunteers from Striving 4 Perfection Ministries will be on hand to take your documents from your car. They will take the bags/boxes out of your back seat or trunk and return the empty containers to your car.

The Community Shred Event is not for businesses; no corporate business/company documents will be accepted. For business documents, please contact Gilmore directly at 850.898.1547.
