Shred It & Forget It

The Better Business Bureau in Southeast Texas is proud to announce we will host “Shred It & Forget It” on Saturday, September 20, 2008, as part of an effort to reduce identity theft. Since July 2006, four events have successfully been held in Southeast Texas. This fall, our local BBB will be joining with BBB’s across the U.S. and Canada for a national ‘Secure Your ID Day’ event. Together, we will work to destroy more than 250 tons of identifiable documents.

Shred-It will provide mobile shredding trucks for the one-day event. The BBB invites consumers to bring documents to be shredded for FREE, such as credit card statements, old checks, I.R.S. tax returns, and anything that lists personal information. Bring up to five (5) boxes per vehicle. (Box size is limited to a standard banker’s box, approximately 10 x 12 x 15 inches.)

The BBB stresses the importance to shred your confidential documents; when improperly disposed of, it can lead to identity theft. “Shred It and Forget It” is brought to you by Shred-It, MCT Credit Union, Southeast Texas Title Company, Bill Clark Pest Control, and Clear Channel Radio. The event will be held at the Parkdale Mall parking lot off Eastex Freeway in Beaumont between 10am and 1pm. For more information, contact Debbie Wylde-Bridgeman at 409/835-5951, Ext. 117 or debbiebridgeman@bbbsetexas.org.
