Representatives from Shred Experts – a paper-shredding company with security-trained employees and secure equipment – will be stationed in the credit union parking lot at 600 E. Lyon Rd. in Midland to provide a safe and secure means to dispose of sensitive information. Shred Experts is an environmentally conscious company that recycles the end waste and reintroduces the recycled product back into the paper stream.

DCECU members can watch while their documents are shredded on-site. By securely disposing of documents, it is less likely the information can be used for identity theft or fraud.

“DCECU staff members wanted to celebrate Earth Day in a way that benefited both members and the environment,” said DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson. “We understand that it’s often hard to dispose of documents, given the sensitivity of personal information. Members can finish up their spring cleaning and join us as we shred and recycle documents in a very safe and secure fashion.”

Each member may bring up to three bags of documents to shred. The event is intended for members rather than commercial enterprises.
