CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union members and residents from the Alexandria and Harrisonburg communities shredded more than 30,000 lbs. of paper at the credit union’s free, semi-annual community Shred Day event on April 16.
Since 2009, CommonWealth One has hosted free, on-site, secure shredding events twice each year.
The Shred Day events were hosted at CommonWealth One’s Main Branch in Alexandria at 4875 Eisenhower Avenue and at the Harrisonburg Regional Branch in Harrisonburg, VA, at 42 Terri Drive. HR Contractors in Harrisonburg and Safeguard Shredding in Alexandria provided shredding trucks for the events.
CommonWealth One staff members were at both locations to personally assist members and the public with disposing of their materials. Branch managers and staff were also available to answer questions about mortgage and home equity loans, auto loans, checking and savings accounts, online account opening, and e-Services, including Mobile Apps and Text Banking as well as other financial products and services.
This Shred event was free and open to the public. CommonWealth One’s next Shred Day is Sept. 17 at the same two locations.
