Free shredding event at district office

THIS EVENT IS COMPLETE

SCRANTON, April 17 – State Rep. Marty Flynn, D-Lackawanna, will sponsor a free shredding event for residents of the 113^th Legislative District from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 28, 2018 at his district office in Jay’s Commons, 409 N. Main Ave.

“This is the time of year when people are cleaning out their closets and drawers and may have come across sensitive records that they would like to get rid of, but don’t know how,” Flynn said. “Shredding is a great way to throw away the documents in an environmentally friendly way and also protect your identity from fraud.”

Residents are encouraged to bring any documents that contain personal information, such as Social Security numbers, credit card statements and applications, medical records, banking statements, canceled checks, income tax information, insurance records and retirement or pension fund information.

A limit of three boxes or large trash bags per person is requested.  

“The event is free for district residents, and documents will be shredded on site for recycling,” Flynn said. “We are requesting personal documents only – no businesses, please.”

More information is available by calling Flynn's office at 570-342-4348.
