Spring is in the air and that means that it’s almost time for the Bank’s annual Shred Day events in North Platte and Kearney. Our Shred Day event helps highlight the importance of protecting oneself from becoming a victim of identity theft and fraud.
Start your spring-cleaning now and collect all your sensitive documents to bring to our Shred Day events where the items will be shredded on site! There are many things you can do to protect your identity, but regular shredding should be at the top of the list!
The event offers free shredding services for personal documents such as bills, banking statements, credit card offers, and more. Shredding services will be available to the public with a recommendation of one bag of items or up to five standard sized boxes per person. Items can include scam mailings, bills, banking statements, credit card offers and more. Community members may stay in their vehicles to drive thru and drop off their shred. Volunteers from NebraskaLand Bank will be available to help unload shred.
