Old bank statements tucked away in desk drawers, stacks of outdated bills and forgotten financial records can take up valuable space at home. But beyond the clutter, these papers may contain sensitive information that could put individuals at risk if they fall into the wrong hands.
On Friday, October 2, WyHy Federal Credit Union is giving Casper residents an opportunity to clear out those unwanted documents and take an important step toward protecting their personal information. The credit union's Fall Shred Day will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. at its Casper branch, located at 1521 Centennial Court.
The free community event offers residents a convenient way to dispose of confidential paperwork through professional, on-site shredding. Alongside the document destruction service, WyHy is also encouraging participants to support the Food Bank of Wyoming through optional donations that help provide food and necessities to people in need.
A Simple Way to Protect Personal Information
As households sort through old paperwork, it's easy to overlook how much sensitive information is stored in documents that are no longer needed. Old account statements, canceled checks, ATM receipts and unwanted credit reports can contain personal and financial details that should not simply be thrown away.
WyHy's Fall Shred Day is designed to make secure document disposal accessible to the community, giving residents an opportunity to protect their information without the expense or inconvenience of arranging their own shredding service. READ MORE
