Along with free shredding, Texas EquuSearch will be in attendance collecting cash donations. Texas EquuSearch provides search and recovery services to families of missing persons and law enforcement. Texas EquuSearch never charges for their services and relies strictly on individual and small business donations. Your contribution can make a difference.

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.
