Avondale residents can take a swing at identity theft by destroying their sensitive documents at the city's free shredding event next month, with no strings attached. The Community Shred Event, set to take place at Avondale City Hall on April 11, offers locals a safe disposal method for their private papers, with professional shredding services provided by Access Corp.
The event welcomes a heap of loads of paperwork – from outdated medical records to last year's tax returns – and it's all about keeping personal info out of the wrong hands, a plus for any person drowning in documents they dare not just toss in the bin. With a limit of five boxes per individual, participants can declutter without the fear of prying eyes since the drive-thru and drop-off setup fosters a quick and efficient process from 9 to 11 a.m. at 11465 West Civic Center Drive.
According to the city's announcement, "Do you have old bills, medical records, tax paperwork, bank statements, and other documents containing personal identifying information piling up," they're urging residents to take advantage of this secure opportunity for disposal. Those looking for further details on this event can ring up Avondale City Hall at (623) 333-1000 or hit up their webpage.
Mark your calendars for a chance to not only tidy up your home office but also to protect your privacy, because in today's digital age, the threat of identity theft is as real as it gets and shredding might be just what the doctor ordered, even if it’s just a couple of hours, it's two hours well spent for some peace of mind.
