City Sets Shredding Event October 17

With identity theft on the rise, Metro Louisville residents will have a chance to shred personal documents without charge on from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 17 at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. Mayor Jerry Abramson and Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway held a news conference Wednesday to urge citizens to begin collecting documents and materials for the annual free shredding event. Last year more than 22 tons of material were shredded and recycled under the program.

Residents are encouraged to bring personal and confidential documents to be shredded to help fight identity theft. There is no limit on the amount of material residents may bring. Businesses will not be allowed to participate in this event.

Items that can be brought for shredding include documents, discs, hard drives, credit cards and other confidential materials.

The program is made possible through, Shred-It, a local shredding company that is donating its services and equipment.
