SELECTSHRED | FREE SHRED EVENT–PREVENT IDENTITY THEFT DAY WITH THE STUART POLICE DEPARTMENT

FIGHT IDENTITY THEFT WITH A FREE SHRED EVENT HOSTED BY THE STUART POLICE DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH SELECTSHRED, ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2015 AT THE STUART POLICE DEPARTMENT, 830 S.E. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD, FROM 10:00 AM TO 12:00 PM

Free“When are you doing this again?” This was the question of the day last year during the Free Shred Event–Prevent Identity Theft Day. As they say, back by popular demand, residents can come again to the Stuart Police Department on Saturday, August 1, 2015 to have their confidential documents shredded on-site. Last year over 113 vehicles with happy and appreciative residents arrived at the Stuart Police Department. This year, the Martin County Hazmobile will also be there for the disposal of common household hazardous materials.

The Stuart Police Department continues to show their commitment by promoting shred events, increasing public awareness of identity theft, and encouraging shredding of personal documents. Residents see their documents placed into bins and hoisted into the shred truck. They can watch the shredding through the video monitor on the shred truck. Residents leave with peace of mind because they know that their sensitive information is securely destroyed.

Florida has the nation’s highest rate of identity theft but there are many ways to prevent identity theft. Getting free credit reports, monitoring your credit cards, and checking bank account activity are just a few. Shredding is another way to ensure that your confidential information is destroyed to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands.

The following documents should be shredded when they are no longer needed: credit/debit card receipts, old tax records, insurance records, bank statements, cancelled checks, health records, financial documents, legal documents, credit card offer letters, billing information in the center pages of magazines, and all other documents with your social security number and driver’s license number.

Beyond the free shred event, individuals and businesses must do everything possible to prevent identity theft. If you have accumulated too much to shred yourself, use a secure, convenient, and economical NAID AAA Certified company to destroy it. It is important to use a secure on-site shredding service. Even with this shred event, your documents are not carted away to be sorted and shredded at another location. All shredded materials are recycled into new paper products and kept out of landfills.

A COMMUNITY SHRED EVENT – COMMITMENT AND CARING FOR CUSTOMERS

When Lisa of Paradise Tire and Service requested our help in providing a shred event for her customers, we were pleased to provide this service. Knowing that Lisa and her family are very involved in service to customers and the community, it was definitely an opportunity to help them give back to their loyal customers. This was an event of shredding, automobile servicing, cementing current relationships, and forging new relationships. As customers arrived, some reported “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”

Customers were allowed to witness the document destruction through the truck’s video monitor. Here is what one person said after witnessing the on-site document destruction: “This is so interesting. Thanks for letting me watch. This is like a TV Show.”  They were aware that their documents were destroyed immediately in their presence and could not be put back together. They were informed that all shredded materials would be taken to a recycling facility and would not end up in landfills. The peace of mind from knowing that their sensitive information was securely destroyed is priceless.

The heightened awareness of identity theft and tax fraud is never far from anyone’s mind. Someone reported “I’m so happy to get rid of these tax documents. They go back to the year 2000.” Tax-related identity theft is an ongoing concern that increases with each passing year.  Follow the link to read more: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0008-tax-related-identity-theft.

It was certainly like Shredding in Paradise in the 89° F temperature. We were shaded under a red tent provided by Lisa. Appreciative customers arrived on the lot to have their oil change and other auto service done. They also got some secure on-site document shredding done on a sunny Saturday morning in Stuart. We appreciated the opportunity to provide this shred event for Paradise Tire and Service.
