State Bank of Lincoln-Heartland Bank hosts free Community Shred Day Saturday, August 27

 

[August 19, 2022] 

State Bank of Lincoln, a division of Heartland Bank and Trust Company, will host a Community Shred Day on Saturday, August 27th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Heartland Bank is offering this shred service free of charge at the Logan County Fairgrounds, 1408 Short 11th St., in Lincoln. Event may end earlier than scheduled if shred truck fills to capacity.

Local residents and businesses are invited to bring personal documents for secure, onsite shredding. COPS, a service provider of document storage and disposal, will have its mobile shred unit on hand to destroy documents onsite. People will be able to watch their documents being shredded through the unit’s observation window. Items with staples and paperclips can also be shredded. There is a limit of 5 containers per visit.

Properly disposing of personal documents is one way for people to protect themselves from identity theft. The Federal Trade Commission recommends shredding sensitive documents such as charge receipts, old utility bills, copies of credit applications, insurance forms, physician statements, unused checks, bank statements, and expired charge cards.
