    2010 Free Community Shred Days

    NEWS RELEASE -  Free Community Shred Days are sponsored by Lapeer County Bank & Trust Co. and iSHRED.  Since the first Free Community Shred Day in 2006 we have helped over 517 people shred approximately 17.25 tons of paper.  Not only have our efforts helped reduce the risk of identity theft, through recycling about 289 mature trees have been saved from unnecessary destruction.  To continue this effort we have set up the following Free Community Shred Days:
                 
                 • May 15, 2009 at the Main Office; 9:00-noon
                 • October 16, 2009 at the Main Office; 9:00-noon      

     

    This project highlights the Bank’s ongoing efforts to provide resources to the community for the prevention of Identity Theft and Fraud.  Identity Theft is a devastating crime from which it can take years to recover from.  Protect your personal information.  Shred documents such as old credit cards, utility bills and pre-approved credit offers.  In addition check your credit report for unauthorized activity.  Consumers can access their credit report from the three bureaus, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion each year for FREE.  The links for free credit reports, along with frequently asked Shred Day questions are available on the Bank’s website at LCBT.com.

     

    iSHRED, an Attica based, on-site document destruction company uses the latest technology in mobile document destruction.  Their sophisticated shredders can handle paper clips, staples, binder clips and binders.  For recycling purposes, do NOT include compact discs in the materials to be shred.  More information regarding iSHRED is available at ishredit.com.

     

     Any additional questions can be directed to Lapeer County Bank & Trust Co. at 664-2977, ext. 337.
