Identity theft remains one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. Every year, thousands of Northern Kentucky residents and small businesses become victims because old tax returns, bank statements, medical records, and other sensitive papers end up in the wrong hands. At the same time, paper is one of the most recyclable materials we have, when shredded properly, it can be turned back into new paper products instead of ending up in a landfill.
That's why cities across Northern Kentucky host annual or semi-annual shred events. These community events bring professional mobile shredding trucks (often operated by Shred-It or similar bonded companies) directly to residents. You can watch your documents being destroyed on site in minutes, knowing the shredded paper will be recycled. Many events are completely free for residents and often bundled with e-waste recycling, Styrofoam collection, or spring/fall clean-up weeks.
