Why Should You Shred?

Shredding isn’t just about getting rid of paper—it’s about protecting your identity and safeguarding sensitive information. Throwing certain documents in the trash or recycling bin could put you at risk of identity theft or fraud.

What Should You Shred?

If a document contains any of the following personal details, it should be shredded rather than thrown away:

• Account numbers (bank statements, credit card offers, loan documents)
• Social Security numbers (old tax returns, medical paperwork, employment records)
• Birthdates and full names (expired IDs, old passports, membership documents)
• Signatures (contracts, voided checks, legal documents)
• Medical records (insurance statements, prescription labels)
• Utility bills and credit card statements (even if they seem unimportant)

What Can Go in the Trash or Recycling?

Not every piece of paper needs to be shredded. These items are generally safe to recycle or dispose of normally:

• Junk mail (without personal details)
• Magazines and newspapers
• Flyers, brochures, and printed ads
• Old notebooks or blank paper
