Shred Fest is an annual City event to help New Yorkers prevent identity theft. At Shred Fest you can:
- Safely shred papers containing personal information for free using shredding trucks
- Get free identity theft prevention tips
- Get a FREE paper shredder* donated by Staples if you are one of the first 5 people to arrive with your papers at a Shred Fest location.
*NOTE: New York City government employees are not eligible to receive a free shredder. If more than five people are present at a Shred Fest location before volunteers arrive, volunteers will use their best judgment to determine paper shredder recipients. Recipients will fill out a form to confirm they are not City government employees.
