Oswego Cops and Castle Bank Host Shredding Event, May 9

To assist in the prevention of identity theft, the Oswego Police Department is partnering with Castle Bank Oswego to offer a free shredding service to the community.

Important personal documents that are no longer needed that should be shredded may include charge receipts, copies of credit card applications, insurance forms, doctors’ statements, checks, bank statements or expired charge cards, as well as all those pesky credit card and pre-approved car loan offers you get in the mail.

Identity theft is a serious crime. Those who are victimized can spend countless hours and money cleaning up the mess made to their credit record. Managing your personal information wisely and cautiously can help you guard against becoming an identity theft victim.

he shredding will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 9, at Castle Bank, 6601 US Route 34. Residents may bring up to three large file boxes full of papers to be shredded.

Don’t forget to ask for the cross cut.
