Shredtastic-Sioux City

With a focus on preventing seniors from becoming victims of identity theft, Shredtastic offers seniors or their caregivers the opportunity to shred personal materials. Connections Area Agency on Aging advises older adults and their caregivers to carefully dispose of paperwork such as Medicare Summary Notices, explanation of benefits notices from insurance companies, bank statements, credit card billings, and applications and other documents that contain personal information. “We all need to be aware that numbers assigned to us from Medicare and Social Security, as well as bank account and credit card information are valuable and sellable commodities to many scammers,” stated Pam Wurster, event organizer at Connections Area Agency on Aging. She continued, “We are excited to be able to offer this service to seniors living in the Siouxland area.”

This event is for personal papers only. Papers from businesses, including in-home businesses, will not be accepted. Other items not accepted include magazines, phone books, plastic folders, corrugated cardboard, binders with metal clips, etc. Staples, paperclips, and spiral-bound items can be shredded and do not need to be removed.
