Ninth District Dental Association, along with Legal Shred, is hosting another shredding event.
Location: 9th District Headquarters Parking Lot
Cost: FREE for MEMBERS
Limit Amount: Twelve (12) Containers *see below
PLEASE
CALL HEADQUARTERS TO SET-UP YOUR FIVE (5) MINUTE TIME SLOT!
CALL: 914-747-1199. Time slots are
limited, so register now! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
PLEASE
ADHERE TO YOUR TIME SLOT, as HQ's parking lot is small and will
not allow multiple cars with shredding truck.
You can bring your documents in bags, boxes, or any other type of container LIMIT TWELVE (12) Containers.
Legal Shred will empty your containers of the documents into
their 64-gallon bin for shredding and return the container
back to you. The truck will then pick up that 64-gallon
bin, empty the documents into the shredding knives and shred
all the documents. You are welcome to witness the entire
shredding process on a monitor at the side of the truck.
Anything that contains personal info should be shredded such as (but not limited to):
Social Security Numbers; Full Contact
Info/Addresses/Junk Mail; Old Tax Returns; Insurance
Information; Old Medical/Dental Records; Employment Info/Paychecks
Stubs; Old Loan Information; Banking & Investment
Info/Statements; Travel Documents; Credit Card Receipts Statements
Reports; Old Passwords; Cancelled/Copied/Returned Checks
You do not need to worry about removing staples,
paper clips, or even the file folders with the metal strip
through them.
Please make sure that there are NO plastics, CDs, DVDs, x-rays, hard drives, 3-ring binders, or anything else mixed in (paper ONLY).
NOTE:
Small dental x-rays are ok but larger x-rays must be
separated out and placed in a separate container as they will be taken those back to Legal Shred's facility and the destruction done there.
Paper recycling is also done as, by
recycling this shredded paper, thousands of
trees are saved each year. Also, by recycling the shredded paper you can
rest assured that your material is fully destroyed, as it
will go through a second destruction process.
We hope to see you participating at our event!
