The Shred Day we promoted last week was a raging success in St. Louis this past Saturday. 13,000 pounds of paper was shredded - that's 6.5 tons between 8 a.m. and noon! Apparently the weather was horrendous - freezing cold, raining the entire time, except when it snowed and sleeted. All the staff working the event looked like "drowned rats" according to the organizer, VP Tracy Hardgrove at the Better Business Bureau. But it didn't stop the consumers from coming out. They made it easy for consumers - just drive up in your car, and the staff takes your boxes. So mid-Missourians take note: we are holding a Shred Day on Sept. 8 in Columbia. Stay tuned.
