The Better Business Bureau serving Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia will host its bi-annual shredding event Friday, April 16, at Clear Creek Church of Christ, 5612 Hixson Pike, and Saturday, April 17, at Mt. Canaan Baptist Church, 4801 Highway 58. Both days the document shredding will be available from 9 a.m. to noon.
The program is part of the BBB’s effort to help people protect themselves from identity theft by shredding confidential documents.
Be advised that special precautions will be in place following COVID-19 and CDC guidelines for the safety of the consumer and staff. The key protection point will be that consumers remain in their vehicles at all times.
Additionally this year, Wednesday April 21, the BBB branch office in Cleveland, Tennessee will conduct Shred Day at 3400 Keith Street, Cooke’s Food Store. The time in Cleveland is 8 a.m to noon.
The public is invited to bring up to three boxes of documents to be shredded for free. We will also shred two (2) PC hard drives for free. Additionally, PC components may be donated for recycling. Consumers may also bring unused and unwanted medications for proper disposal. Bring meds in the original container; simply mark out personal information.
