Redwood Credit Union Offers Free Shred-a-Thon in Novato, July 16

Visitors can securely dispose of sensitive documents and electronics

Novato, CA – Redwood Credit Union (RCU) invites the Marin County community to come out to their annual free document shredding event on Saturday, July 16, 2022 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Sutter Novato Community Hospital parking lot at 180 Rowland Way. The popular annual Shred-a-Thon will feature free document shredding provided by Shred-It and electronic waste (e-waste) collection by Conservation Corps North Bay.

"We’re happy to provide this free service for the community to help people securely dispose of their sensitive documents and e-waste," said Ryan Lind, RCU’s Novato Branch Experience Manager. "Safely eliminating old financial documents and other confidential information is one of the best measures people can take to protect themselves from identity theft."

Attendees may bring up to three boxes (15”x12”x10”) of confidential documents for shredding, such as old financial statements, canceled checks, and credit card offers. Conservation Corps North Bay will also be on site to collect and recycle e-waste such as old computers, printers, cell phones, and personal electronics.

Monetary donations will be accepted at the event to benefit SchoolsRule Marin, a coalition of 20 public school district foundations that help fund literacy, technology, health, and arts programs for every public school student in Marin County.
