North Shore Bank to Host Free Community Shredding Day at All Branches May 4

BROOKFIELD, Wis. – North Shore Bank today announced it will hold its seventh annual bank-wide Community Shredding Day on Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to noon. People can stop by any of North Shore Bank’s more than 45 Wisconsin branches to have outdated, personal documents securely shredded. Community Shredding Day is free and open to the public.

“Properly disposing of materials that contain personal information is one of the best ways to guard against identity theft, and North Shore Bank encourages our neighbors and friends to take advantage of this free service during our seventh annual Community Shredding Day,” said Susan Doyle, vice president for North Shore Bank. “We collected more than 65,000 pounds of documents for secure shredding last year and as people clear out closets, desk drawers and boxes, we hope to collect even more outdated documents for disposal.”

While materials will be accepted at all North Shore Bank branches, those who have larger quantities of papers for shredding (up to two boxes) are encouraged to visit one of seven branches that will have shredding trucks and specialists on-site. Those locations are:

• Appleton - 1100 W. Northland Ave.
• Ashwaubenon - 2215 S. Oneida St.
• Brookfield - 15700 W. Bluemound Rd.
• Fox Point - 600 E. Green Tree Rd.
• Grafton - 2301 Wisconsin Avenue (across from Sendik’s)
• Greendale - 5101 S. 76th Street  (Southridge)
• Howard – 2465 Lineville Road (inside the Piggly Wiggly)
• Racine Regency - 5723 Durand Avenue

All shredded materials will then be recycled. Tips on how to prevent identity theft, how to decide what to keep or toss, and additional information about Community Shredding Day are available on the bank’s website (shredit.northshorebank.com) and at any North Shore Bank office.
