Synovus will host a free contactless Community Shred Day on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern, at the Bradley Park branch, located at 1695 Whittlesey Road.

The Chattahoochee Valley community is invited to bring mail and other documents that contain personal information to be shredded and securely disposed of by Iron Mountain Data Management. Participants can bring up to three kitchen-size trash bags or boxes of material to be shredded. It is not necessary to remove staples or paper clips. Synovus Information Risk and Resiliency team members will unload the documents to shred while participants remain in their vehicles.

Shredding personal documents and sensitive materials is one of the surest ways to safeguard confidential information. Shredding paper can also help protect the environment, save on storage space and remove fire hazards.

Suggested items include:
Outdated documents
Credit card statements
CDs and DVDs
USB thumb drives
Utility bills
Bank statements
Canceled checks
Tax records
Receipts
*Limit three kitchen-size trash bags or three boxes of material per person.
