Recently, a reader of our blog asked when the next shred event would be.  I did a bit of research and found that there are several events this month in Maryland and Virginia.   So, no more excuses.  It’s time to kick your paper clutter to the curb!

    Also, the web site FileStoreShred.com maintains a list of free paper shredding and electronics recycling events in the state and from coast to coast across the country. Similar to what is mentioned above, these events are faster and easier than trying to dispose of this stuff at home. Up until now, it was never this easy to find a shred or recycling event when you needed one.

    Hi! I am very interested in becoming a professional organizer. I just don’t know how to go about it. I have several questions for you, if you don’t mind. What made you want to be a professional organizer? How did you get started? How did you built up your clientele? How long have you been doing it? How’s business? How did you become certified?

    Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you.

    If you are browsing the market for paper shredding companies you should really consider Office Paper Systems. They are a very trusted company. They also have an excellent staff to handle all of your paper shredding needs. I have been so happy with their service.
