ROMEOVILLE, Ill. — State Rep. Dagmara “Dee” Avelar, D-Bolingbrook, will host a free community shred event Saturday, September 27 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Lockport Township (1463 Farrel Road) in collaboration with state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, D-Shorewood, and the Lockport Township Supervisor Alex Zapien.
“Not everyone can access a personal shredder or other secure method to get rid of sensitive documents. This free community shredding event offers an accessible solution for those looking to dispose of any confidential paperwork,” said Avelar.
The shred event is only for paper shredding; electronic or medical recycling is prohibited. For more information, please contact info@repdagmara.org.
“Shredding personal documents that contain financial records, social security numbers, or other personal details protects our residents against the potential of identity theft or other sensitive leaks,” said Avelar. “I have to thank Senator Cappel and her team for their partnership so we can bring this convenient service to our area.”
