Shred Day is returning to Timonium and White Marsh in 2025, offering free document destruction to those who need it. This annual event is part of a national campaign aimed at reducing identity theft and increasing scam awareness in our communities. In Maryland, identity theft continues to be a major concern, making up a significant portion of fraud reports submitted to the FTC. Nationwide, consumers lost an estimated $10.3 billion to identity fraud in 2023, and with fraud schemes becoming more sophisticated, experts anticipate these numbers will rise in 2025. Protect yourself by safely shredding sensitive documents on Shred Day!
Which documents should you shred?
- Old tax forms
- Junk mail
- Documents with a signature that you no longer need
- Old bank statements
- Credit or credit card offers
When in doubt, bring it to Shred Day!
BBB staff, volunteers, and sponsors will be on-site to give full-service assistance to keep drivers and passengers safely inside their vehicles while authorized personnel from the National Association of Information Destruction, AAA certified company, Iron Mountain, perform the actual shredding.
