Long Beach, CA (August 22, 2025) |
LBS Financial Credit Union partnered with Southern California Shredding Services to give the community a way to get rid of private documents securely. The third annual shred event took place at LBS Financial’s Long Beach Marina branch located at 6457 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, CA, 90803 on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The community was enthusiastic for the return of this event! A number of attendees brought boxes of documents like outdated financial records, tax forms, and medical records to shred. Anytime a guest arrived at the event, ten employee volunteers and branch staff helped load boxes onto a dolly, then transferred the documents to the shred truck. A Southern California Shredding Services representative shared that it resulted in the shredding of over 8,000 lbs. of paper.
“Shred Day is just one of the many ways we help our members protect their personal information while also bringing the community together,” said LBS Financial President & CEO, Sean Hardeman. “Safe document disposal is a simple but powerful step toward preventing identity theft and we are proud to offer this free service to our members and the entire community.”
The credit union plans to continue hosting this free event at their Long Beach Marina branch annually for their members and the public.
