FREE Shred Event!
Annual Free Document Shredding and Food Drive
That’s right, there is no cost to bring your documents to Merrill Law where office employees will be onsite to help you carry boxes.
Community members are welcome to join us at Merrill Law on Colby to destroy documents containing sensitive and personal information. We have scheduled the Annual Shred Event each January, to help people who are cleaning and purging their year end documents.
We will have a mobile shredding truck from Proshred, on site to destroy your documents. A very special thank you to the folks from ProShred for always jumping in to help make our events run smoothly.
