Villa Park residents invited to attend free shred event on Aug. 12 at Willowbrook

State Sen. Suzy Glowiak Hilton will host a free shredding event starting at 9 a.m. on Aug. 12 at Willowbrook, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave. in Villa Park. The event will end at noon, or when the shred truck is full.

There is a limit of two boxes of documents per car. Examples of documents with personal/identifiable information that should be safely discarded include bank statements, outdated medical records, tax returns, utility bills, junk mail, credit card applications and receipts.

“Safely disposing of sensitive, personal documents … can protect your family and you from identity fraud,” Glowiak Hilton said in an announcement of the event. “This event serves as a resource to residents throughout our community to declutter their homes and dispose of these sensitive documents in a secure manner.”
