Start the new year by shredding unwanted pounds
To help raise awareness about how people can protect themselves against fraud and identity theft, TD Canada Trust and Shred-It have joined forces to bring a community shred event to four TDCT branch locations in Oakville. Open to both customers and the general public, this one day event aims to encourage everyone to protect their identity by shredding old documents containing personal information instead of throwing them out.
Shred-it, A Securit Company, is the world's leading on site document destruction company with over 140 branches operating in 16 countries. Shred-it trucks are equipped with custom-built shredders that can efficiently destroy everything from confidential paper documents to CDs. Founded in 1988, Shred-it currently services over 150,000 global, national and local businesses and organizations worldwide.
