BECU Shred-it event shares spotlight with local non-profits

Cam Lyons Staff Reporter Oct 19, 2023

Is your home cluttered with old paperwork or outdated electronics? BECU Tukwila Financial Center is holding their bi-annual shred-it event this Saturday, Oct. 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and this could be the week that you clear out all of your clutter! 

The event (held at 12770 Gateway Drive in Tukwila) has been a hit the past few years with those who want to get rid of old tax paperwork, and their partnership with the Tukwila Food Bank and Northwest Center makes this effort a win-win. 

The shred-it process is quick, easy, and productive; you don’t even have to get out of your vehicle! BECU aids any paper unloading, while volunteers from the Tukwila Food Pantry stand by and collect food and cash donations that aid families from the surrounding King County area.

You and your family are welcomed to drop by, and if you can, give back to the community with whatever fits within your means. For more information, please visit: becu.org/support/shred-and-ecycle-event.com
