The City of Turlock is offering free document destruction services to Turlock residents Saturday. The event is being be held at the Turlock Regional Water Quality Control Facility located at 901 S. Walnut Rd. from 8 a.m. to noon or until the collection truck is full. The “Shred-It” event is part of a regional effort and one of four locations that shredding services will be offered throughout the county.

The most common way confidential information gets into the wrong hands is when it’s not disposed of appropriately. When you put a piece of paper in the trash, it can be difficult to know what happens to it. Every step that occurs once the trash leaves your control carries risk that someone could find your personal information and exploit that data to cause you financial loss. Shredding documents before disposal is a smart solution to safeguard personal information.

CITY OF TURLOCK “SHRED-IT” EVENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES:

· NO businesses. This event is for City of Turlock residents only.

· No more than three bags or boxes allowed.

· NO Binders

· NO Plastic
