  The Guinness World Records world record for the most paper collected in 24 hours at multiple venues is 210,025.97 kg (463,028 lb) and was achieved by Shred-it Denver (USA) in Denver, USA, on 19 May 2012.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most clothes collected in 24 hours; it weighed 6,880 kg (15,167 lb 12 oz) and was achieved by ASDE - Explorers of Murcia (Spain) at the Guadalentín Sports Complex in Murcia, Spain, from 17-18 April 2010.

 
   "Each year at Shred Day DFW, we serve more and more North Texans by shredding their sensitive paper documents for free, increase the positive impact to the local environment and help collect more food and donations for the North Texas Food Bank, our non-profit beneficiary," said J. Patrick Faubion, Texas Market President for Comerica Bank.

  "Setting two world records within three years is a testament to the need and desire of North Texans to protect themselves from identity theft and to keep their sensitive documents out of local landfills.   As the largest bank headquartered in Texas, we're proud to have hosted not only the largest single community shredding effort in Texas, but in the world."
  
   In 2012, at the second annual Shred Day DFW event, Comerica Bank, Iron Mountain and KDFW FOX 4 earned their first World Records honor for collecting 111,920 pounds of paper documents.

  In September 2013, CBS Atlanta (WGCL-TV) and Recall claimed the world record honor for collecting 275,750 pounds of paper in a 24-hour period.
