“It is important to know that your documents, or your clients’ documents, with sensitive personal information like Social Security numbers and account numbers have been properly shredded and recycled,” Sen. Addabbo said.
“With the great success of my previous shredding and recycling events, I wanted to give constituents another chance to come and have their personal documents shredded safely and securely,” Addabbo said. “It is important to know that your documents, or your clients’ documents, with sensitive personal information like social security numbers and account numbers have been properly shredded and recycled.”
Items that cannot be shredded during this event include any cardboard, newspapers, file folders, and metals or plastics. There will be a (3) copy box limit on how much can be shredded per person to ensure that all participants have the opportunity to shred their materials.
“There is nothing greater than assisting the community with disposal of documents safely and securely. These measures to prevent fraud and identity theft are imperative to protect personal identifiable information. It aids the environment by reducing the volume of paper waste and promotes paper recycling. A paper-shredding event is paramount and benefits everyone,” Persaud added.
For more information about this event, contact Addabbo’s district office at (718) 738-1111.
