Published June 24, 2025

This Earth Day, Kinecta hosted Shred Fest drive-through events at four branches in Southern California. Members were invited to bring up to 10 boxes of sensitive and unwanted documents to shred at no cost. 

These events help support the environment and protect personal information with a safe and convenient way to dispose of sensitive documents, such as:
  • Financial and legal documents
  • Bank and credit card statements
  • Receipts
  • Tax and medical records
  • Envelopes with plastic windows
  • Magazines and newspapers
  • Paper with clips or staples

Approximately 15,200 lbs (7.6 tons) of paper was shredded for our members and community at these events this year.

Additionally, members who brought items to shred were able to make a $1 donation for every box of shredded documents. The branches collected a combined total of $1,841 to benefit local nonprofits.

Branches and Nonprofit Supported
  • Brea: Foster Love
  • Manhattan Beach: Richstone Family Center
  • Torrance PCH: Cancer Support Community South Bay
  • Goleta: Santa Barbara Food Bank

These events are just one example of how Kinecta invests in its communities. During 2024, Kinecta, its subsidiaries and employees donated more than $1.1 million to charitable causes, volunteered over 7,000 hours and participated in over 200 community events.
