Free Shred Day — Fremont Community Event

Fremont residents will get a free chance to shred sensitive papers on Saturday, April 25, at Pinnacle Bank’s branch on East 23rd Avenue. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) Keep Fremont Beautiful lists the event from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank, 1520 E. 23rd Ave. The group says each vehicle is limited to two boxes, or about 50 pounds, of documents. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) The event is a partnership between Keep Fremont Beautiful and Pinnacle Bank, and it is billed as a community shred day rather than a customer-only promotion. Pinnacle Bank’s Fremont branch listing matches the 1520 E. 23rd Ave. address. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) (pinnbank.com) Shred days are built around a simple idea: papers with account numbers, signatures, tax records, or other personal details are safer destroyed than tossed intact into household trash. Shred-it, a national document-destruction company, says community shredding events are meant to reduce the risk of identity theft by securely destroying unwanted personal records. (shredit.com) That fits Keep Fremont Beautiful’s broader mission in Fremont and Dodge County. The nonprofit says it works to improve waste-handling practices and encourage residents to take more responsibility for the local environment. (fremonttribune.com) (chamber.fremontne.org) The April 25 event also follows the same basic format used for earlier Fremont-area shred days: a short Saturday drop-off window, a public site, and a firm paper limit per person or vehicle. A 2024 community listing for the same Pinnacle Bank location advertised a 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. shred event with a 50-pound limit and no purchase required. (thebestmix1055.com) For residents, the practical deadline is the two-hour collection window on Saturday afternoon. After that, Keep Fremont Beautiful’s 2026 calendar moves on to a downtown cleanup on May 14 and a citywide cleanup event on June 18. (keepfremontbeautiful.org)
