One Nevada Credit Union is inviting the public to help protect their personal information by having sensitive documents shredded for free on Thursday, April 11, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at 7703 N El Capitan Way, Ste. 190.
One Nevada Shred Day events are held twice a year to give Las Vegas residents an opportunity to have personal and sensitive documents shredded securely for free. One of the easiest ways to reduce identity theft risk is to use a secure paper shredder. Assured Document Destruction will be on site to safely and properly dispose of unwanted documents. Up to three boxes filled with acceptable recyclable items are allowed per car. Electronics, ink cartridges, and cardboard will not be accepted.
To reduce the risk of identity theft, the most important documents to shred are bank statements and ATM receipts, expired ID cards, old credit cards, documents containing your social security number and credit information, investment documents, old pay stubs, voided checks, and even old plane tickets. Essentially, you should shred anything that contains personal information that identity thieves could use. When in doubt, shred it!
The One Nevada shred event is free to the public, but cash contributions and non-perishable food donations will be accepted. Three Square Food Bank will have an information booth at the event and be on-site collecting donations to help in their mission.
