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.
