2026 Shred Days Banner

BrightBridge is excited to announce the return of its popular community Shred Day events, offering members and prospective members a safe and secure way to dispose of sensitive documents. Proper disposal of personal information is an important step in helping protect against identity theft and fraud. We're expanding access this year by hosting Shred Days at four branch locations throughout Massachusetts, making participation easy.

Watch here for more event announcements coming soon! 

All events will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., are free and open to the public. Limit 6 banker boxes (or the equivalent) per person, please. BrightBridge team members will be on hand throughout each morning to assist and answer any questions.

By shredding them, you're protecting your private personal information from identity thieves.  So, what documents should you consider shredding?  Anything that has a signature, account number, social security number, or medical or legal information that you no longer need to retain. Limit 6 banker boxes (or the equivalent) per person, please. You DO NOT need to remove staples or paperclips!
