Past Events

KVCOG is committed to providing valuable services to our member municipalities and their residents. Our free shredding event on May 3^rd was a great example of this commitment! Participants were able to securely dispose of 2,300 pounds of sensitive documents, protecting themselves from potential identity theft and fraud. The event also promoted environmental responsibility through the recycling of shredded paper. We were thrilled with the turnout and the positive feedback we received.
