Shred Day: Protect Your Information & Declutter Your Paperwork
Once the garage sale wraps up, it’s time to get rid of those old documents securely. Head over to the Splash Pad for Shred Day from 1 PM to 3 PM. This is a great way to safely dispose of sensitive papers, like old bank statements, tax records, medical documents, and any other paperwork with personal information.
Why Use Shred Day Instead of Recycling?
While it may be tempting to toss papers into the recycling bin, shredding is a safer and more effective option. Here’s why:
-
Protects Against Identity Theft: Shredding destroys personal information before it can be misused.
-
Eco-Friendly: Shredded paper is processed more efficiently for recycling.
-
Saves Space: Say goodbye to piles of old paperwork cluttering your home!
How to Prepare for Shred Day
-
Go Through Your Paperwork: Look for outdated bills, receipts, and confidential documents.
-
Remove Staples & Clips: Many shredding services accept them, but removing them speeds up the process.
-
Use a Box or Bag: Bring your papers in a container that’s easy to carry and dispose of.
This event is a great way to clear out the old and make space for the new while staying secure and environmentally responsible.
So mark your calendars for March 15th and get ready for a day of decluttering, deals, and document disposal!
