Free confidential paper shredding to be offered April 9th

[March 31, 2016]   LINCOLN - Are you worried about your personal information getting into the wrong hands? If so, bring your old financial records, tax returns and other sensitive household records to be shredded and destroyed in a secure and confidential manner. State Bank of Lincoln and the Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency are co-sponsoring the free Confidential On-Site Paper Shredding event.

Proper disposal of this sensitive information may prevent individuals in your household from becoming the victim of identity theft.

The Confidential On-Site Paper Shredding event will be held Saturday, April 9, 2016 from 9 a.m. to Noon. The event will be held at the Logan County Fairgrounds. Participants are asked to use the Main Gate Entrance. The first glass recycling collection of the year will also be held at the same time and location.

Participants will be limited to five bags or boxes of materials to be shredded. Participants are asked to ensure that no plastic, glass, trash or non-paper items are brought to the collection. Participants will be responsible for the disposal of bags and/or boxes brought to the collection.

Participants will be able to watch the shredding and destruction of paperwork via a camera located in the bed of the shredding truck. Participants are responsible for maintaining possession of their materials until they are brought to the truck for shredding; sponsors of the event are not responsible for any materials left unattended prior to or during the shredding event.

For more information on the paper shredding event, contact Mitzi Rohlfs, LCJSWA Coordinator at 732-9636 or send an email to [e-mail]. Area recyclers can obtain the most up-to-date information on all recycling activities within the county by following the Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency on Facebook.
