Identity theft is not just a big business problem anymore. It can happen to anyone, and often starts with something as simple as old paperwork falling into the wrong hands.
That is why we are inviting the community to join us for our 2026 Shred Day events. These free community events give you a safe and secure way to dispose of sensitive documents while taking an important step toward protecting your personal information.

Why Shredding Matters
Many people do not realize how much personal information is sitting inside old paperwork at home. Documents with your address, account numbers, Social Security number, medical information, or signatures can all become targets for fraud if thrown away improperly.
Shredding helps protect your:
- Financial information
- Personal identity
- Account details
- Medical records
- Credit history
It is one of the easiest preventative steps you can take to help keep your information secure.
Quick Tips to Help Prevent Identity Theft
While shredding old paperwork is important, here are a few additional ways to help protect yourself year-round:
1. Monitor Your Accounts Regularly
Check your bank accounts and credit card statements often for suspicious activity or unfamiliar charges.
2. Be Careful with Emails and Texts
Scammers are getting smarter. Avoid clicking suspicious links or giving personal information through unsolicited messages.
3. Use Strong Passwords
Create unique passwords for important accounts and avoid using the same password across multiple platforms.
4. Check Your Credit Report
Review your credit report regularly to catch unusual activity early. You can review your credit report for free at AnnualCreditReport.com or in the Allegiance Mobile App.
5. Shred Before You Toss
Any document containing personal or financial information should be shredded instead of thrown directly into the trash.
