Description

United Bank & Trust, the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce and the Marshall county Landfill announce the date of the upcoming annual Community Shred Day. This event will be held at United Bank & Trust, 2101 S. Center Street on Saturday, April 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the bank’s parking lot. The public is invited to bring their confidential, personal information to the bank to be shredded by Shred-it. This service is offered at no cost.

The public will have the opportunity to dispose of documents containing personal information such as bank statements, tax records, canceled checks, pay stubs, medical records and other paperwork that may include personal data including account numbers or social security numbers. Properly destroying this type of information will help reduce the chance of identity theft occurring.

“It is so important to safely and securely dispose of confidential information. With the increase in fraud, data breaches and identity theft, consumers need to be diligent in protecting their personal data.” said Jennifer Hass, Senior Vice President at United Bank & Trust. “Shredding your documents will provide peace of mind knowing that your information won’t be obtained by a criminal for fraudulent use.” added Hass.
