Identity theft is a growing problem in our world today. One important step to take is to shred any documents containing identifying information (especially social security and account numbers) prior to throwing the documents away.
If you're like me...you may throw these documents into a bin to shred all at one time and the box full of "identity trash" can get a little full...especially if you're throwing out old tax forms. The thought of sitting and shredding for an hour is a little overwhelming...so here's a solution!
Bring your "shredding material" to the SHRED-A-THON that will be held in the Oakwood Country Club Parking lot.
The shred-a-thon is being provided as a courtesy by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and a big thank you goes out to them!
Here are some details ~
When? Wednesday, 8/18/2010
What time? 6am until 10am
Where? The Oakwood Country Club Parking Lot
What material can be shredded? Almost anything can be shredded, including the paperclips and binder clips that are on paper materials; phone books are accepted, boxes of old checks, etc. They will even shred the box you bring in if you don't want to take it with you.
How big can the material be? Any paper materials are fine, including those extra-long mortgage documents, checks, newspapers, etc.
What size are the boxes? The boxes should be no larger than the banker's size boxes. (approx 11" x 12.25" x 16 legal size)
How many boxes? 2 "banker's size boxes" per person are free. Boxes after that are $10 each. If you bring your materials in something that isn't a banker's size box, they will guesstimate how it measures up. So it's isn't mandatory to bring everything in a banker's box.
