Shred Your Stress (and Your Clutter) at a Free Shredding Event

What are the two hardest parts of decluttering? Getting started and actually moving that clutter out of the house after you've sorted it. As a matter of fact, I bet you have at least one bag of clutter in your house right now that is just waiting to be dropped off for donation. Or a bag of papers that need to be shredded.

Well, I have good news for you (at least with the papers): Free shredding events exist, and they are magical.

Pro Tips for Maximum Shredding Success

✅ Sort ahead of time – Don’t show up with a box of mystery papers from 1999.

✅ Check the rules – Some events have limits or won’t take things like plastic folders.

✅ Don't shred everything – Put papers without sensitive info in your regular recycling -

no shredding necessary.

Decluttering can feel like a never-ending battle, but shredding events make tackling paper piles feel so much easier. Find one near you (search "shredding events near me [current year]" or if you're in Wisconsin, check here), dump that old paperwork, and enjoy the feeling of a lighter, more organized space!
