Thanks to the efforts of Team SDCCU, our customers and our partners in the community, SDCCU remains the current record holder for the most paper collected in 24 hours and the most paper shredded in 8 hours. At our 2018 SDCCU Super Shred Event, more than 500,000 pounds of paper was shredded and recycled. Approximately 11,000 people turned out at SDCCU® Stadium on June 16 to properly dispose of confidential information.
Since we began hosting our free Shred Day events in 2007, over 4 million pounds of paper have been collected, shredded and recycled at no charge, saving nearly 35,000 trees (every 120 pounds shredded represents one saved tree).
