CENTER – Rep. Josh Kail (R-Beaver/Washington) will be hosting an Identity Theft Prevention and Community Shredding Event for households of the 15th District on Saturday, July 18, from 9-11 a.m. in his district office parking lot, 3648 Brodhead Road, Monaca.
The event, which will feature an on-site industrial paper shredder, will provide the opportunity for residents to shred up to two large boxes of materials. The boxes will be returned to residents.
“While COVID-19 prevented many of the events I had scheduled for this year, we are able to safely hold the shredding event,” Kail said. “Identity theft is even more of a risk because of the financial desperation so many people are feeling, so it’s especially important to safely dispose of sensitive documents.”
Paper will not be accepted from businesses or organizations. Only paper, not cardboard or CDs, will be accepted. Staples and paper clips need not be removed. All shredding takes place on-site, and the event will be held rain or shine.
Shredding services will be provided by ShredAmerica Iron City. The event is sponsored by EQT. It is not necessary to register for the event, but residents who would like to learn more are asked to call the district office at 724-728-7655.
