BLOG: Upcoming Shredder Events In DE & PA
By Jim Donovan: It seems like at least once a week I get an inquiry from a viewer about where they can shred personal documents for free. Well I have news about several shredding events that are coming up over the next few weeks that you may want to take advantage of.
First up, as part of its ongoing efforts to prevent identity theft, the Delaware Attorney General's office is sponsoring free community shred events at locations statewide. Each event will feature on-site document shredding, and staff from the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division will be available to provide information and answer questions about identity theft and consumer fraud. Consumers may bring up to three file-sized boxes of documents; emptied boxes will be immediately returned.
Those shredding events will take place at the following dates and locations:
Saturday, October 8
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Peebles parking lot at the Milford Plaza
650 N. DuPont Blvd., Milford DE
Saturday, October 22
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Boscov's parking lot at the Dover Mall
