Description

Shredding by donation on March 29 from 10 am - 1 pm. 

Located at the Coquitlam Canadian Tire parking lot.

Just in time to make room for the paperwork required for this tax season, Rotary Club of Coquitlam is holding its annual fundraising shred-a-thon on March 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The drive-thru event at the Canadian Tire parking lot on Lougheed Highway and King Edward is by donation, with the money going to support Rotary’s local projects. Those include weekly Starfish food hampers, Christmas food hampers, bursaries for high school students as well as SHARE Family and Community Services.

All documents are shredded securely on site.

They can comprise:

• business documents
• old tax forms
• old banking information
• other sensitive personal papers

Coquitlam Rotary launched its shredding efforts in 2021, after many of its usual community events like whisky tasting and beer festivals had been curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Donations can be made by cash or credit card, and there’s no minimum.
