Pinnacle Bank Free Community Shred Day

Fremont residents can bring old papers to Pinnacle Bank on Saturday, April 25, for a free community shredding event run with Keep Fremont Beautiful. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) The drop-off runs from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank, 1520 E. 23rd Ave. in Fremont. Keep Fremont Beautiful lists a limit of two boxes, or about 50 pounds, per vehicle. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) The event is built around secure disposal of papers that carry personal information, including old statements, bills and other records that can be used in identity theft if they are thrown away intact. Keep Fremont Beautiful has promoted past shred days as a way to destroy sensitive documents safely and keep paper out of the landfill. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) Keep Fremont Beautiful is a Fremont nonprofit focused on waste handling, recycling and litter prevention. Its 2026 calendar pairs the April shred day with later cleanup events in May and June, putting the paper drop-off alongside its broader neighborhood beautification work. (keepfremontbeautiful.org 1) (keepfremontbeautiful.org 2) Pinnacle Bank’s Fremont branch is hosting the event at its East 23rd Avenue location, one of the bank’s local full-service offices. The bank has used the same site for community shred days in prior years. (pinnbank.com 1) (pinnbank.com 2) The shred day has drawn large volumes before. A 2024 Pinnacle Bank newsletter said the bank’s Fremont event kept 15,000 pounds of sensitive documents out of “the hands of fraudsters and the landfill.” (pinnbank.com) Keep Fremont Beautiful has reported similar turnout at other local shredding events, including more than 8,000 pounds collected in two hours at a 2017 Fremont event and 8,000 pounds at a 2019 event. Those reports also said the paper was recycled after shredding. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) (keepfremontbeautiful.org) For residents, the April 25 window is short and the load limit is specific: two boxes, about 50 pounds per vehicle, between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank on East 23rd Avenue.
