Upcoming National Secure your ID Event
LOCAL TROY-BASED COMPANY TO OFFER FREE SHREDDING SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS PART OF A NATIONAL CONSUMER AWARENESS INITIATIVE
OMEGA SECURE-SHRED will join over 120 other secure shredding companies across the country who are providing free shredding services to the general public during an event that will highlight the importance of protecting discarded personal information.
According to Robert Johnson, executive director of the National
Association for Information Destruction, studies have shown that most
identity thieves obtain personal information they use to commit their
crime from low-tech sources such as dumpster diving. Law enforcement
agencies across the country at all levels strongly recommend that
personal information be destroyed before it is discarded. OMEGA
SECURE-SHRED is doing a great public service by providing this service
free as a means of promoting secure destruction throughout the year.
The event will be held on Saturday, September 20th from 10:00 am to
2:00 PM across from Hedley Park Place and the Farmer's Market (400
block of River Street in Downtown). Members of the public may bring up
to 75 pounds of paper documents which will be destroyed free of charge.
The date of the event coincides with Secure Your ID Day, a secure
shredding event being co-sponsored across the country by the National
Association for Information Destruction.
