Division of Human Resources Announces Annual Shred-Mania Event

As part of the RecycleMania competition, Kent State University’s Division of Human Resources will partner with the Office of Sustainability to host Shred-Mania on Wednesday, March 30, from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kent State Ice Arena parking lot.

Shred-Mania is open to all students, faculty, staff and the Kent community. Shred-Mania allows participants to recycle unwanted paper documents using a secured, onsite document destruction service. Materials permitted at Shred-Mania include documents, drawings, photos, blueprints, coupons, tickets, checks, magazines, spiral notebooks, hanging folders, paper bags and brochures. It is not necessary to remove paper/binding clips or staples from your documents in order to have them shredded. All shredding will take place on site. There is a limit of five boxes per person for Kent community members.

If you have questions, contact Melanie Knowles, Kent State’s sustainability manager, at 330-672-8039 or mknowle1@kent.edu.
