Darke County Solid Waste
Free Document Shred Day
On Saturday, November 14, 2020, the Darke County Solid Waste District
will partner with Farmers State Bank to hold a “FREE” County Shred
Day. This event will allow you to help protect you and your
family from identity theft.
What is Identity Theft? Identity Theft is a crime in which an
impostor obtains key pieces of personal identifying information (PII)
such as Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers and uses
them for their own personal gain. It can start with lost or
stolen wallets, pilfered mail, a data breach, computer virus, phishing,
a scam, or paper documents thrown out by you or a business. This
crime varies widely, and can include check fraud, credit card fraud,
financial identity theft, criminal identity theft, governmental
identity theft, and identity fraud.
What should you shred? Old taxes, bank statements, pay stubs,
checkbooks, insurance policy info, medical information, legal files,
utility bills, credit card statements, receipts, invoices, pre-approved
credit card offers, investment records, etc. Unfortunately, we
can’t accept 3-ring binders, binder clips, bound paper books, VHS or
cassette tapes, floppy disks, CD’s, or X-rays.
The shred hours of operation will be from 9:00 a.m. to 12 Noon.
This event will be held at the Darke County Fairgrounds located at 800
Sweitzer St., Greenville. Please enter at the gate (gate 2)
closest to Wayne Healthcare. Pre-registration is NOT required for
this event. Because this is a FREE event, each household or
business will be limited to 10--1 cu. ft. boxes. All documents
will be shredded on-site. A certificate of destruction is
available upon request. PLEASE REMAIN IN YOUR VEHICLE!!!
