JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – First Community Credit Union (FCCU) will be holding a free shred event alongside MinnKota Recycling on Saturday, April 28th for the public.

The Jamestown branch at 111 9th Street SW will be holding the event from 9 AM to 1 PM.

“MinnKota will have a truck on-site for shredding any unwanted personal, medical or business-related documents at no cost to help you secure your identity,” a release from FCCU says. “Documents to be shredded should be removed from binders; however, staples, paper clips, CDs, and floppy discs will be allowed to be shred.”

Noel Schanilec, FCCU marketing specialist says, “We know how items such as bank statements, old tax filings, old checks or duplicate checks, physician statements, credit card receipts or statements, credit card offers and many other private documents can build up in homes. We want to provide the community with a safe outlet to have them securely destroyed.”

“This also helps to protect the environment of our communities because all the shredded documents are then recycled,” Schanilec adds. “It is a win-win for the members of our communities and the environment – saving the trees and protecting your identity.”
