DOJ Fall Shred Event

Free shredding service from Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit helps consumers guard against identify theft

Attorney General Matt Denn’s Consumer Protection Unit is hosting two free consumer shredding events this fall to help consumers guard against identity theft. Each event will feature free on-site document shredding and staff will be on-hand to provide information and answer questions about consumer frauds and scams.

Delawareans can learn much more about protecting themselves from identity theft by visiting http://www.attorneygeneral.delaware.gov or by contacting our Consumer Protection Unit at 1-800-220-5424.

Each consumer may bring up to three file-sized boxes of documents, which may contain paper file folders, staples, and paperclips. Emptied boxes will be immediately returned to consumers.

Identity theft remains one of the nation’s fastest-growing crimes. To help prevent becoming a victim, regularly monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity and limit information they post about themselves online, in addition to securely destroying unneeded financial documents.

The fall consumer shredding events will take place as follows:

Saturday, September 24th
9 am to 1 pm
Delaware Technical Community College, lower level parking lot, Stanton-Christiana Rd, Stanton, DE

Saturday, October 8th
9 am to 1 pm
