Community Shreds and Recycles Over 11 Tons of Sensitive Documents

WARNER ROBINS, GA — Central Georgia residents recently shred 22,500 pounds, or 11.25 tons, of documents containing sensitive material at Robins Federal Credit Union’s popular Shred Day events.

Three Shred Day events were held last week at Robins Federal Credit Union’s Watson Boulevard branch in Warner Robins, West Clinton Street branch in Gray, and Zebulon Road branch in Macon.

Shred Day is a semiannual event with a dual purpose – to protect the Middle Georgia community from identity theft and to protect the environment. Members of the community are invited to shred personal information, including financial records, receipts and prescriptions. All shredded documents are then recycled.

Robins Federal Credit Union is a local non-profit financial cooperative with nineteen branches in central Georgia. Robins Federal currently provides financial services to over 147,000 members, with assets exceeding $1.8 billion. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in the 16 counties Robins Federal serves.
