Don’t leave a shred of your personal documents at the fingertips of criminals…Shred them away!

Following a very successful year of Shred-A-Thons in 2008, during which more than 49,000 pounds of documents were shredded, the Broward Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the Florida Attorney General are committed to continue helping residents fight identity theft by inviting them to shred their old documents.

There’s a Shred-A-Thon scheduled at a city near you:

Saturdays, 9 a.m.-noon

Sept. 12: BSO Weston District, 17300 Royal Palm Blvd. Weston

Oct. 10: Wynmoor Village, 1000 Boulevard of the Stars, Coconut Creek

Nov. 14: BSO Lauderdale Lakes District, 4300 N.W. 36th St., Lauderdale Lakes

Dec. 12: BSO Cooper City District, 10580 Stirling Rd., Cooper City

Jan. 9, 2010: BSO Deerfield Beach District, west substation, 580 S. Powerline Rd.

The Shred-A-thon events began in Broward County in May 2008 as a joint initiative by Broward County Sheriff Al Lamberti and the Office of the Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, with the assistance of UNISHRED and The National Association of TRIADS.

The Shred-A-thon provides residents with a safe way to dispose of their personal documents, check stubs, credit card offers, receipts and any other material that might contain sensitive data.

The service is free of charge. There is a limit of five boxes of documents per person.

For more information, please contact 954-321-4100.
