Paper Shredding events benefit Louisville and beyond

A Plus Paper Shredding partners with different organizations to put on Free Paper Shredding Events. These events are great fund raisers for non-profits, and a great way to bring the community together. Churches, charities, neighborhood associations...they can all benefit with a document destruction event like this.

Here is a story about a similar event in Pennsylvania!
