MICKLETON — Reduce clutter – clean out and purge your personal records. Protect yourself from identity theft while being green.
The East Greenwich Twp. Environmental Commission and Green Team are sponsoring an open shredding event on Saturday, April 30 from 9 a.m. to noon at the East Greenwich Township Municipal Building, 159 Democrat Road in Mickleton.
What to toss: Bills, once payment has cleared your account; bank and credit card statements once they are reconciled. With online banking these statements are available on the institution’s web site. Investment statements if you can easily get a copy from your broker or advisor.
What to keep: Tax returns and all documentation for seven years; all documentation of real estate purchase as well as documentation of improvements to the property for as long as you own the property.
Bring your bags and boxes of paper to be shredded. An experienced operator from DocuVault will move the disposal bins to a highly secure, mobile shredding unit where your confidential material will be destroyed as you watch. 100% of the shredded paper is recycled.
Only paper from residents will be accepted. No businesses. Please no plastic bags or metal including 3-ring binders and binder clips. Staples and paper clips are acceptable.
