SPOKANE, Wash. – If you have sensitive documents you need to get rid of, a local bank is providing a way you can make sure to dispose of them safely and securely.
Washington Trust Bank will host a free Community Shred Day Oct. 17 at three Spokane locations to help residents safely dispose of sensitive documents and protect against identity theft.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lincoln Heights Branch at 2415 E. 29th Ave., the Northgate Branch at 7815 N. Division St., and the Valley Financial Center at 310 N. Argonne Road.
Participants can bring up to one legal-size file box of documents for shredding at no cost.
“Protecting our community from identity theft is a top priority,” said Patti Hulett, Northgate Branch manager. “By providing this valuable service, we can help both customers and non-customers stay safe.”
The bank recommends bringing documents containing personal information such as bank account or Social Security numbers, bank statements older than one year, bills, canceled or voided checks, junk mail, pre-approved credit card offers and tax documents older than three years.
The service is open to the public regardless of banking relationship with Washington Trust Bank.
