Shred Day with Keep Fremont Beautiful Apr 25

Fremont residents can bring sensitive papers to a free community shredding event on Saturday, April 25, at Pinnacle Bank on East 23rd Avenue. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) Keep Fremont Beautiful and Pinnacle Bank are hosting the drop-off from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at 1520 E. 23rd Ave. Organizers list a limit of two boxes, or about 50 pounds, per vehicle. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) The event is aimed at secure disposal of documents that carry personal or financial information. The Federal Trade Commission says people without a home shredder can look for a local shred day to help protect against identity theft. (consumer.ftc.gov) That advice matters most for papers like bank records, bills, and tax files that still contain account numbers, addresses, or other identifying details. The Internal Revenue Service says record-retention rules vary, but tax records generally should be kept until the statute of limitations for that return runs out. (irs.gov) Keep Fremont Beautiful describes itself as a public-education nonprofit focused on waste handling and community responsibility in Fremont. It is part of the wider “Keep” network in Nebraska and nationally through Keep America Beautiful affiliates. (keepfremontbeautiful.org) (knb.org) (kab.org) Pinnacle Bank’s Fremont branch at 1520 E. 23rd Ave. is the event site, making the shred day a bank-hosted stop for residents cleaning out old files during spring. The bank has used the same Fremont location for past community shredding efforts.

Saturday’s event gives Fremont households a set time and place to do that securely. (irs.gov) (consumer.ftc.gov)
