The CPB’s Shred the Word Program Calendar | |
 |
The New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB) kicked off its second season of Shred the Word events in Utica, NY. The CPB’s Shred the Wordprogram brings together local businesses to provide free shredding services for consumers and community activists. The shredded material is later recycled and processed into paper products, which is beneficial to consumers and the environment. |
The CPB encourages consumers to cross shred documents containing personal identifiable information as it is one of the best defenses against identity theft. Recently, more than 12,000 lbs of paper were shredded at the Shred the Word in Rochester, NY. Visit the CPB’s Shred the Word calendar periodically to see if there is a CPB-sponsored or affiliated event scheduled in your neighborhood. Community partners and shredding companies interested in hosting a free Shred the Word event should contact the CPB for more information. The CPB encourages localities to hold their own free shredding events, which will be added to the Shred the Wordcalendar if alerted in a timely manner.
