Why Shred?

According to the Federal Trade Commission, about 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year and “dumpster diving” or rifling through your trash cans for personal information, is a common tactic used by identity thieves.

The Attorney General’s Office suggests shredding credit card receipts, ATM receipts, pre-approved credit card or loan offers that you are not interested in, personal financial information such as monthly statements, and much more. Below is a list of items that can and cannot be shredded.

  • Bond, computer and copying paper
  • Adding machine tape
  • Envelope (with or without windows)
  • File folders
  • Accounting ledgers and letterhead faxes
  • NCR or coated paper and self-adhesive notes

Paper clips, rubber bands, staples, tape, adhesive labels, acco fasteners, and plastic tabs do not have to be removed.

  • Cellophane wrappers
  • Paper towels/napkin
  • Food of any kind
  • Phone books
  • Styrofoam cups/plates
  • Lunch bags
