Every year, we tear up all the old receipts and paperwork from decades ago… and usually burn out a paper shredder in the process. However, putting them in the trash is no option in this age of identity theft. Once again, you can get your sensitive paperwork (up to 3 copy paper-sized boxes or 3 kitchen-sized garbage bags of documents) shredded for a small donation at 9NEWS’ Shred-a-thon on Saturday, May 18.
Stop by any of 7 locations between 7 a.m. to noon.:

Experts suggest the public shred old paperwork with personal information on it, including:
- Canceled checks
- ATM & credit card receipts
- Old credit cards
- Credit card offers
- Bills
- Old bank statements
- Tax records & receipts (7 years or older)
- Medical records & bills (keep for 1 year)
- Pay stubs (keep for 1 year)
DO NOT SHRED:
The most recent versions of social security statements, annual insurance policy statements, retirement plan statements. Everything else can be shredded.
Volunteers will accept donations for Metro-Denver Crime Stoppers for the shredding services, which we think are well worth it. Supervised by law enforcement officials, all employees shredding are licensed and bonded.
