BrightBridge Credit Union plans a free Shred Day, offering the public a safe and secure way to dispose of sensitive documents.
The credit union said it recommends proper disposal of confidential documents containing personal information as an important step in helping protect against identity theft and fraud. It is offering shredding services at four branches in the state. Locally, BrightBridge Credit Union is accepting documents Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. to noon, at its Lawrence branch, 500A Merrimack St., Lawrence. It is open to the public.
“Shred Days are our most popular community event because they provide a valuable service at no cost to our members and the community at large,” said BrightBridge Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications Matt Coggins. “Whether you’re a longtime member or visiting one of our branches for the first time, we invite you to stop by, clean out those old files and say hello.”
The credit union said it will have staff on hand throughout the morning to welcome guests, answer questions and share information about its community initiatives.
