Hanover, VA – The Hanover-Ashland Triad held its annual Shred-It event at the Kroger in Rutland this past weekend, drawing dozens of residents eager to safely dispose of sensitive documents while helping local families in need.
According to the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, 67 cars stopped by to drop off paper items for shredding — nearly filling the truck used for the event. The initiative aims to help residents prevent identity theft through secure document destruction.
In addition to shredding services, the event also collected several shopping carts of non-perishable food items for area food banks. The Sheriff’s Office credited the Rotary Club of Mechanicsville for its continued partnership and support, which helps make the event possible each year.
Officials said the community response was “outstanding” and reflected a shared commitment to both safety and service. The Hanover-Ashland Triad regularly sponsors programs focused on protecting seniors and promoting public awareness on fraud prevention.
Residents can follow the Sheriff’s Office on social media for updates on upcoming community events and future shredding opportunities.
