Gibbons to Host Free Shredding Event this Saturday

BEAVER FALLS, June 14 – State Rep. Jaret Gibbons, D-Beaver/Butler/Lawrence, is hosting a free shredding event for the community to destroy unneeded confidential documents.

The shredding event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 18 at the North Sewickley Fire Hall, 893 Mercer Road.

“One of the simplest things you can do to protect yourself from identity theft is to shred documents with sensitive personal information that you no longer need,” Gibbon said. “I am hosting a shredding event where those documents may be shredded safely and at no charge.”

Attendees should bring to shred any documents that contain personal information, including Social Security numbers, credit card numbers and bank account numbers, such as:

• Credit card statements
• Credit card applications
• Bank statements
• Canceled checks
• Income tax information
• Insurance records/information, including medical
• Retirement/pension fund Information.

All documents are shredded on site and disposed of securely by a professional document disposal company. There is no limit on how many documents may be shredded, but residents are asked to remove paper clips before shredding.
