Looking for a way to get rid of personal documents? NBC4's next Community Shred is scheduled for Saturday, April 2.
It's set for 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Annandale, Virginia campus of Northern Virginia Community College. The address is 8333 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, Virginia 22003.
Shredding is the easiest way to prevent identity theft, so bring your old bank statements and other private documents. There is a five-box maximum per each personal car.
To keep this event safe and secure, please do not bring batteries, flammables, combustibles, electronic equipment (hard drives), media materials (DVDs, CDs, tapes), binders, or hanging files.
If you plan on going to the shred, the line on Lake Drive will close at 11 a.m. For safety reasons, organizers have requested that people remain in their vehicles. No business vehicles are permitted.
Here's how to get there:
