Have a box of old tax returns collecting dust? Bank statements you no longer need? Outdated medical records taking up space?
Instead of tossing sensitive documents in the trash, bring them to kstate CREDIT UNION's FREE Community Shred Event this fall. Securely destroying documents that contain personal information is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from identity theft and financial fraud.
Here are six great reasons to clean out your files and take advantage of this free community event.
-
Protect Yourself from Identity Theft. Documents containing your Social Security number, account numbers, birth date, or signature can be valuable to identity thieves. Professional shredding destroys this sensitive information so it can't be recovered or misused.
-
Help Prevent Financial Fraud. Old bank statements, credit card offers, canceled checks, loan documents, and other financial records can provide criminals with the information they need to commit fraud. Properly shredding these documents helps keep your personal and financial information secure.
-
Declutter Your Home. If you've been hanging onto stacks of paperwork "just in case," now is the perfect time to sort through your files. Safely disposing of documents you no longer need, can free up valuable storage space and make it easier to stay organized.
-
Safely Dispose of Outdated Documents. Even documents that are years old may still contain sensitive personal information. Old tax records, medical documents, insurance paperwork, and expired identification can all become security risks if they aren't disposed of properly.
-
Support Environmentally Friendly Recycling. Protecting your identity can also help protect the environment. The professional shredding company we partner with recycles shredded paper, giving it a new purpose while helping reduce landfill waste.
-
Enjoy Peace of Mind. There's confidence that comes with knowing your personal information has been securely destroyed instead of sitting in a recycling bin or trash can. A few minutes at our shred event can save you from future headaches and help you protect what matters most.
