Looking for a way to get rid of personal documents? NBC4's next Community Shred is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 10.
It's set for 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Largo, Maryland campus of Prince George's Community College. The shred will be held in Lot B.
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.
