If you've got sensitive documents you don't need but don't want to throw away, this is a perfect opportunity.
OSWEGO, IL — If you've got sensitive documents that need to be shredded, here's a good chance. The Oswego Police Department is teaming up with First National Bank of Oswego in offering a free shredding service for the community.
Documents like receipts, credit card applications, insurance forms, physician statements, checks, bank statements, credit offers and expired charge cards are just some of what police recommend you shred at the event.
"Identity theft is a serious crime," Oswego police said on their Facebook page. "Those who are victimized can spend countless hours and money cleaning up the mess thieves have made of one’s good name and credit record. Vigilance in protecting personal information is crucial."
