PITTSFIELD, Mass. Greylock Federal Credit Union's annual Shred Day will be held on Saturday, May 16.

 

The event, hosted in collaboration with Berkshire United Way (BUW), will benefit the United Way's local initiatives.

 

"Last year we shredded and recycled 8,000 pounds of paper," said Jordyn Scace, Web Content Manager at Greylock. "People love this event. It's a safe, easy way to securely dispose of personal documents while supporting a great cause. We're excited to see how much money we can raise this year for our friends at Berkshire United Way."

 

The free event is open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon and will be held in the Berkshire United Way parking lot at the corner of South Street and Clinton Avenue in Pittsfield. Community members are invited to dispose of personal, printed documents courtesy of Vital Shred. There is a suggested donation of $5 dollars per box. No business documents are allowed.

 

"We are thrilled to again partner with Greylock Federal Credit Union to offer a free Shred Day. This is a frequently requested service by our community," said Katherine von Haefen, BUW president and CEO. "We are especially grateful to participants who provide a donation to support Berkshire United Way and our work to build a thriving future for Berkshire families."
