Pack up your unneeded receipts, bank statements and other documents and bring them to the 2019 9NEWS Shred-a-thon on Saturday, May 18 from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The 2019 Shred-a-thon is a partnership of 9NEWS, Shred-it, Inc., Iron Mountain, Metro Denver Crime Stoppers and metro area law enforcement.

The Shred-a-thon is a yearly fundraiser for the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers program.
