FREE Shred Day on September 11
Oxford Bank and iSHRED will host a FREE shredding event on Saturday, September 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. It will be held at the Bank’s Clarkston Office, located at 7199 N. Main St. (just south of I-75).

This project highlights the Bank’s on-going efforts to provide resources to the entire community for the prevention of identity theft and fraud. According to the Federal Trade Commission, more than nine million Americans are victims of identity theft or identity fraud every year. The majority of ID theft occurs when the thief has direct contact with the victim’s personal information, through a stolen or lost wallet, rifling through a mailbox or trashcan, or even lifting documents from inside a home or business. It is a devastating crime from which it can take victims years to recover. Secure destruction of personal documents is the first step in identity protection.

Participating individuals and businesses can shred credit cards, pre-approved credit offers, insurance forms, charge card receipts, paycheck stubs, credit applications, personal documents listing social security numbers, and more.

iSHRED, an Attica, Michigan based, on-site document destruction company established in 2004, uses the latest technology in mobile document destruction. A member of the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), their on-site mobile shredding trucks can shred up to 6,000 pounds per hour and can handle items with paper clips, binder clips and staples.
