Synovus will host a free contactless Community Shred Day on Saturday, Oct. 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET at the Bradley Park branch, 1695 Whittlesey Road.  

The Chattahoochee Valley community is invited to bring mail and other documents that contain personal information to be shredded and disposed of by Iron Mountain Data Management. Participants can bring up to three kitchen-size trash bags or boxes of material with all paper clips and metal binder clips removed. Synovus 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.
