To help residents safely dispose of sensitive documents, state Sen. Laura Murphy and state Rep. Marty Moylan are hosting their annual shred drive on Saturday, Sept. 21.

“One way we can all prevent fraud and identity theft is by securely disposing of sensitive personal documents,” said Murphy (D-Des Plaines). “Take advantage of this free and convenient opportunity to help keep your information out of the wrong hands.”

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 21, in the parking lot of Acuity Brands Lighting, 1300 S. Wolf Road, in Des Plaines.

Examples of documents with personally identifiable information that should be safely discarded include bank statements, outdated medical records, tax returns, utility bills, junk mail, credit card applications and receipts.
