Document Shredding event planned for March 23
Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, March 23.
Hosted by Waste Management and the City, the event is from 9 to 11 am (or until truck capacity is reached) in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.
Residents and businesses can bring up to five banker-size file boxes (24" x 12" x 10") worth of paper records for immediate shredding. Proof of residency is required. All documents and boxes must be free of binders, paper clips, plastic sleeves and metal butterfly clips. Items not accepted include CDs, credit cards, three-ring binders, wire dividers, newspapers, magazines and spiral notebooks. For safety reasons, you must remain in your vehicle until serviced. No walk-ups will be permitted.
