A COMMUNITY SHRED EVENT – COMMITMENT AND CARING FOR CUSTOMERS
When Lisa of Paradise Tire and Service requested our help in providing a shred event for her customers, we were pleased to provide this service. Knowing that Lisa and her family are very involved in service to customers and the community, it was definitely an opportunity to help them give back to their loyal customers. This was an event of shredding, automobile servicing, cementing current relationships, and forging new relationships. As customers arrived, some reported “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”
Customers were allowed to witness the document destruction through the truck’s video monitor. Here is what one person said after witnessing the on-site document destruction: “This is so interesting. Thanks for letting me watch. This is like a TV Show.” They were aware that their documents were destroyed immediately in their presence and could not be put back together. They were informed that all shredded materials would be taken to a recycling facility and would not end up in landfills. The peace of mind from knowing that their sensitive information was securely destroyed is priceless.
The heightened awareness of identity theft and tax fraud is never far from anyone’s mind. Someone reported “I’m so happy to get rid of these tax documents. They go back to the year 2000.” Tax-related identity theft is an ongoing concern that increases with each passing year.

It was certainly like Shredding in Paradise in the 89° F temperature. We were shaded under a red tent provided by Lisa. Appreciative customers arrived on the lot to have their oil change and other auto service done. They also got some secure on-site document shredding done on a sunny Saturday morning in Stuart. We appreciated the opportunity to provide this shred event for Paradise Tire and Service.
If you have questions regarding proper document security procedures, we are here to help you.
