The Better Business Bureau is hosting a free shredding event on Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at their DuPont Better Business Bureau Parking Lot location. Click here for full event details.

Gather unneeded and outdated personal documents and old cellular phones for Better Business Bureau’s biannual BBB Secure Your ID Day! Take advantage of free document shredding and cell phone recycling at locations across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

Mobile shredding trucks will be on-site, accepting up to three bags or boxes of unwanted documents per person. Please note that cardboard and three-ring binders cannot be accepted. Recycled phones will be donated to Verizon’s HopeLine, a nationwide program that wipes data and allocates phones to victims of domestic abuse.

BBB staff and representatives from partnering organizations will be available to answer questions about preventing identity theft and provide resources for victims.

View the suggested Records Retention Schedule to see how long to keep personal information before shredding.
