Consumers can take advantage of FREE on-site document shredding and will take home practical tips to prevent identity theft. Consumers are allowed to bring 3 small size banker boxes or 3 plastic 13-gallon kitchen size bags of shredding. To shred your sensitive documents in a timely manner, there is no need to remove binders, binder clips, paper clips, staples, rubber bands or CDs/DVDs prior to shredding.
New this year, individuals 50 years of age or older may register to win one of four FREE $100 shredders. Visit AARP South Carolina website: aarp.cventevents.com/71G83Q. Sweepstakes takes place between April 1, 9:00 a.m. EST zone and May 31, 2022, 9:00 a.m. EST zone.
