On Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 10:00am to 1:00pm, the Cornelius Police Department will host a FREE Document Shredding Event in the parking lot of Cornelius Town Hall, 21445 Catawba Avenue.

The Document Shredding Event, sponsored by Cintas Document Management, is FREE to the community. There will be a 4 bag/box maximum per resident or business. The public is encouraged to bring documents such as obsolete tax documents, financial statements, cancelled checks, insurance documents, business records or any records that they want safely destroyed to this event. There is no need to remove clips, staples, or binders from these documents.

Document shredding is an opportunity for the public to learn about the dangers of identity theft and take action in preventing identity theft from occurring in the community.
