If clutter is making your counters and cabinets feel less like home and more like a paper mill, take heart. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is bringing back its popular Shred-A-Thon event, providing a safe way for residents to dispose of confidential documents. Scheduled for Saturday, September 13, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Headquarters, located at 200 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden, it's an opportunity for locals to clean house and protect their personal information.
In a social media post from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the community is invited to bring up to "three kitchen-size trash bags or bankers’ boxes filled with documents that contain your personal or private information." However, make sure to remove binders and other non-paper items before you drop off your documents, though "paperclips, staples, and window envelopes are fine." The event offers a free service but does not hesitate to encourage donations, which directly benefit Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office post, this event not only assists residents in protecting themselves against identity theft, but it also supports the fight against crime by bolstering the efforts of Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. The initiative of the Shred-A-Thon underlines a community-wide commitment to crime prevention and personal privacy.
