BBB Hosts Free Shred Day at Locations across the US Saturday

Help us help you fight identity theft on Saturday Oct. 23rd by stopping by one of 50 locations across the US for BBB’s fall Secure Your ID Day.

More than 15,000 people took part in last year’s fall Secure Your ID Day and we shredded 480 tons (or perhaps the more impressive-sounding “nearly a million pounds”) of documents all for free.

As before, consumers and small business owners can drop off up to a couple boxes of documents and we will shred it. In exchange for your sensitive documents, you’ll receive tips from BBB on how to fight identity theft. We make it easy to fight ID theft. You might not even need to get out of your car. Find a location near you.
