Fraud Fighting Fridays: Free Shredding Near You!

Guarding against fraud & identity theft has long been an AARP priority. Take advantage of FREE document shredding on Fraud Fighting Fridays, starting May 9.

Volunteers needed! See below...

Shredding by a trusted source helps protect against identity theft. The AARP Fraud Watch Network recommends shredding any records, statements or other papers that contain personal information.

Drop-offs, 9 a.m. to noon; no more than two boxes per person; no businesses, please. Only paper-based documents are accepted, but not cardboard. We will return cardboard transport boxes to you after they're emptied. Plastic, metal binders, CDs, DVDs, and electronics are prohibited. Registration recommended but not required.
