We do a one day event each year.  People are very used to it and start 
asking months before when File Clean-Out Day is.  They also get to wear 
jeans that day.  To publicize the day I send out a couple mass emails, put 
articles in our company newsletter and in my monthly newsletter.  The day 
before I put up a lot of 8 1/2 x 11 posters which  remind them about 
retention schedules, shredding papers, Legal Holds, etc.  (Remember if you 
have litigation going to be sure to remind them not to purge anything on 
Legal Hold.) I make my own posters using clip art.

For a treat, I go around in the afternoon and offer candy to everyone. Our 
CEO looks forward to getting his candy.

Good Luck.
