Community Shred Day in Parkville: Sat. Oct. 22

Here's a weekend project: protect yourself from identity theft.

Spend a little time cleaning out your filing cabinets and bring documents that you want to destroy to Parkville's Destinations Credit Union from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Incred-A-Shred will have one of their mobile shredding units at the credit union at that time.

Destinations is at 8767 Satyr Hill Road, Parkville.

Wondering what documents you need to hang on to, and which you can toss (into a shredder)?

Jim Wang over at Bargaineering breaks it down for you. Here's a pro tip: reduce the number of documents that contain identifying personal information by switching to electronic statements when possible. That way you can download copies but not have to destroy physical ones.
