Here's a fun and interesting article from Yahoo news about Shred Day:
Residents of Columbus, Neb., will be setting Shred Party protocol this Saturday when they're invited to cart up to 100 pounds of their most sensitive documents to the Columbus United Federal Credit Union for confidential and free shredding, provided by "Shred-it" of Omaha.
The event is designed to teach about the dangers of identity theft (and keeping old high school yearbook photos around).
Destroying documents with personal information -- such as old credit card and utility bills, trash-worthy tax documents, brokerage and bank statements -- is one way to thwart identity thieves.
This is a GREAT idea! Not only does it highlight a topic that needs to be brought more to the forefront, but you just have to admire the person marketing Columbus, Nebraska. What an innovative and creative way to get his/her town noticed!
