People with confidential documents descended upon Alliance Bank Stadium Saturday morning to take part in OCRRA's ninth annual Shred-O-Rama. The event allows those with limited space or those without a personal shredder to bring their personal documents and get them torn up right at the stadium, all of the scraps being recycled as well.

This year, in their effort to avoid identity theft and simply to recycle more, a steady stream of people with the paper flowed to the stadium throughout the morning. Since 2004 when Shred-O-Rama began, residents have shredded over 218 tons of confidential materials.

The next Shred-O-Rama event is Saturday, September 22, from 8 am to noon at Alliance Bank Stadium.
