The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) and AARP North Dakota are sponsoring “Secure Your ID” Day events Saturday, April 20 in Fargo, Bismarck, and Jamestown, North Dakota. The BBB is also proud to announce their first free shredding event in Minnesota - in St. Cloud, a new addition to this identity theft prevention initiative. Area residents and businesses are encouraged to shred and properly dispose of their sensitive paper documents and CDs free of charge at these half-day events which are part of a series of Secure Your ID Day events being hosted by Better Business Bureaus across the country.
The public and business community is invited to bring up to five boxes or bags of documents to be shredded. Documents to be shredded should be removed from binders, but staples, paper clips and CDs are okay as is.
