Synovus to Host Free Community Shred Day October 19th
Friday, October 11th, 2024
Synovus will host a free Community Shred Day on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET at the Bradley Park branch at 1695 Whittlesey Road.
This annual event encourages individuals to protect their personal data, including financial documents, by safely shredding confidential information.
Columbus-area residents may drop off documents that contain personal or sensitive information for shredding and secure disposal by Iron Mountain Data Management.
During this contactless event, Synovus team members will unload the documents to shred while participants stay in their cars. Participants can bring up to three kitchen-size trash bags or boxes of material with all paper clips and metal binder clips removed.
Shredding personal documents and sensitive materials safeguards confidential information while also helping to protect the environment, save on storage space and eliminate fire hazards.
