Saturday, May 5, is the day to get those sensitive documents shredded and disposed of. Navy Federal Credit Union holds a shredding event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its new office in Silverdale at 3340 NW Randall Way.
One in 20 Americans, or 12 million people, became victims of identify fraud last year, according to a statement from the credit union.
“(The event) allows our team members to introduce themselves, hand out practical information on identity theft, while citizens practice environmental responsibility,” said Patrick Miller, Navy Federal’s vice president of branch operations.
People should not bring more than four boxes of personal documents. Business or commercial materials will not be accepted, along with compact discs and hard materials.
