Personal documents can be destroyed
Bank First will host a Shred Day event from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 2, at 111 Jefferson St., Waupaca.
While this shred event is free and open to the public, Bank First is requesting that participants bring a non-perishable food donation in exchange for each bag of personal documents shredded. All food donations will go to area food pantries.
Shred Days are an opportunity to avoid identity theft by properly disposing of personal documents such as old tax returns, bank and credit card statements, medical and other records.
A.R.M.S. Inc., an AAA-certified shredding company, will provide mobile shredding units to destroy all personal and confidential documents. The company employs licensed and bonded document-destruction specialists and guarantees the secure removal of the destroyed documents.
To ensure enough shredding space is available for the public, businesses are asked to not participate in this event. The event will be held rain or shine.
Participants are welcome to stay and watch the process if they wish and are invited to come inside for free cookies and drinks.
