On May 8th and 9th the Northeast Nebraska Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council and partners hosted six shredding events around their six-county service area. These were intended to assist citizens in disposing of confidential files safely, reducing the potential for identity theft, and to support recycling.
Approximately 5 tons of material was shredded. Forty-eight (48) households and small businesses were served. Security Shredding of Laurel was the contractor. All materials were shredded on-site in the truck equipped with a pulverizer.
The types of material shredded included financial and payroll documents, KENO records, personnel files, legal documents, confidential correspondence, cancelled checks, account ledgers, invoices, medical records and more.
Assisting the RC&D board members and staff were the Orchard librarian, a Midwest Bank staff person, and the Lewis & Clark board chairman.
