Now that tax season is over, and Spring (we think) is finally going to come, we're pleased to announce that we will be holding a Free Shred Day!  Drop off your sensitive documents on Saturday, May 19, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at our 320 Alliance Place NE location in Rochester.

We will have one of Beckley's Office Products mobile shredding trucks available in the parking lot for members to drop off their documents to be securely shredded.  Simply drive up to the truck, we will help you unload your documents for shredding. We want to make it easy to shred your sensitive papers that shouldn't be simply tossed out. Make sure to mark your calendars for this free event.

  • Monthly statements for credit cards or financial institution accounts
