PITTSFIELD, MA (May 7, 2025) |
Eight thousand pounds of paper were shredded and recycled at this year’s Community Shred Day held on Saturday, May 3. The ever-popular annual event was hosted by Greylock Federal Credit Union, in collaboration with Berkshire United Way, to benefit the United Way’s local initiatives.
The event, which was open to the public, allowed community members to securely dispose of personal printed documents on-site courtesy of VitalShred at the United Way headquarters in Pittsfield.
“We love organizing this event for our community. It’s a great way to securely dispose of personal documents while also supporting our friends at Berkshire United Way,” said Jordyn Scace, Web Content Manager at Greylock.
Through community donations, a total of $2,475 was raised for the United Way.
“Each year when we see that truck filled to the brim, it’s confirmation that Shred Day continues to be a popular event. We’re absolutely thrilled to collaborate with Greylock to provide this service at no cost to our community. We extend our deepest appreciation to those who generously contributed a donation toward Berkshire United Way to support our mission to build a stronger and more equitable community,” said Tom Bernard, president and CEO of BUW.
