Prevent identity theft by shredding your old documents–like old tax forms, financial statements, and anything with your social security number on it that you might normally toss in the trash. Check out this free shredding event scheduled for February 23, 2013 right here in the Creative District.
Do you need to destroy old tax records, checks or credit applications? Shred It and the NC Attorney General’s Office are sponsoring a free shredding event. The shred-a-thon will be held Saturday, February 23 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at Method Child Development Center. The center is at 900 Trailwood Drive near the intersection with Avent Ferry Road.
Staples and paper clips do NOT need to be removed from your documents.
Note: When I’ve attended past shredding events at this location, the Method Child Development Center has asked for a small, tax deductible donation, although it was not required to shred your documents.
