CORRECTION: This story has been updated to correct information regarding the cost of this service and access to banker’s boxes.
There’s few tasks more tedious than having to sort through mountains of personal paperwork to find the confidential papers that need to be destroyed and thrown away — and then, actually having to destroy and dispose of them.
Luckily, for anyone facing that Herculean task, the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Palliative Care Service is once again hosting its annual “Shred-it” fundraiser on Aug. 17.
Stack your papers into a banker’s box for disposal. This service costs $8 for the disposal of one box, or $20 for three boxes.
From there, you can drive to Simpsons Pharmasave at 1882 Niagara Stone Rd. from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 17, where volunteers will grab these boxes from your vehicle and carry them into Shred-it trucks, where the papers will be properly destroyed.
All proceeds will go to the service organization, which provides palliative care in Niagara-on-the-Lake for those in need.

Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Palliative Care Service would like to thank its sponsors Meridian Credit Union and Hummel Properties for supporting this event.
