Rotary Club of Grand Island sets 'Shred-It Day'

Saturday, June 17, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Rotary Club of Grand Island will present its annual Shred-it! event behind KeyBank in the Tops Market plaza parking lot, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 17.

Organizers said, “Patrons will able to watch the confidential document destruction of their papers. It will be drive-thru, in-vehicle service.”

They added, “How long should important documents be kept? Keep for seven years if they include any items related to the preparation of your personal or business tax returns. Otherwise, documents that could be shredded after three years would include credit card statements and receipts, monthly bank statements, deposit and ATM slips, canceled checks and utility statements.”

The shredding cost is $10 for a box approximately 12-by-16-by-10-inches; $20 for double banker boxes. Those with more than six large boxes should call 716-773-7265 to make arrangements.

Follow guidelines for secure document destruction by removing metal and plastic binders. Staples and paper clips will be accepted. Only paper items that would qualify for curbside recycling are allowed.

This event is co-sponsored with Christine A. Learman, CPA, PC; and Madison Tile Carpet One. Funds raised will be used by Rotary Club to support various community causes.
