Watch-it, Shred-it Day
Everyone has a few boxes of unwanted important documents buried in storage – and has no idea what to do with them.
Shred your unwanted documents, help the Kiwanis Club support needy families at Christmas
JAMES CARELESS
These could be important yet obsolete papers such as old bank statements, tax bills, old agendas and diaries, and other personal items that – to guard against identity theft – shouldn’t be put into the black box recycling bin. So these papers remain in the basement, closet or storage unit indefinitely, taking up space and gathering dust.
Fortunately, you can safely and responsibly dispose of these unwanted documents, while helping deserving Ottawa-area families receive a week’s worth of groceries – including a turkey – at Christmas. The place to do this is at the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa’s ninth annual Watch-it, Shred-it Day fundraiser at Ottawa’s Hampton Park Plaza on Saturday, Oct. 26. Hampton Park Plaza is located at the corner of Carling and Kirkwood Avenues, with the Watch-it, Shred-it event running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot.
Watch-it, Shred-it Day is where you can bring your unwanted documents to be safely shredded into unreadable scraps once and for all.
“In partnership with the mobile document destruction company Shred-it, which is providing five document shredding trucks staffed by Shred-it employee volunteers, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa will destroy these unwanted documents as you watch,” said Neil McDonald, co- chair of the club’s Shred-it Day committee. “That’s right: You can have them chopped up for a good cause.”
“Better yet, we accept documents with staples, paper clips, and even small bull-dog clips,” said Ian Peddie, the Shred-it Day committee’s other co-chair. “Shred-it’s powerful shredding trucks can even chop up wire spiral binders and bound books. And if you feel the need, you can watch while your unwanted documents are chewed up; just to feel assured that they are gone for good.” If you ask them they will even give you back the box you brought the documents in.
The cost to shred your unwanted documents is just $8 per banker’s box (or equivalent) load of documents, with a limit of five boxes per vehicle. One hundred per cent of the funds raised will be used to prepare the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa’s Food Hampers at Christmastime.
Previous Watch-it, Shred-it Days have collected anywhere from $7,000 to $10,000 per year for the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa’s Christmas food basket program.
“Watch-it, Shred-it Day is the perfect mix of safe document disposal and helping your neighbours,” said McDonald. “And you’ll free up space in your storage area,” added Peddie.

There was discussion on Quebec’s labor force for female vs. male being the highest in the country which is attributable to their inexpensive child care.
