Did you miss the Mentor Public Library’s April 14 Community Paper Shred Day?

Not to worry: Carver Financial Services of Mentor has teamed up with Northcoast Shredding Services to help you get rid of those vulnerable, sensitive, confidential documents — the cancelled checks, health information, credit card statements and other records that are so attractive to the wrong people.

On Saturday, May 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., you can take up to three boxes of paper documents to Carver Financial Services at 7473 Center Street (map) in Mentor, where Mentor High School volunteers will help unload them from your vehicle. (Please, no binders, large metal clips, magazines, or newspapers.)

Northcoast Shredding Serviceswill have a mobile shredding unit on-site. Once they have shredded your documents, the shreds will be sent to a paper mill and properly recycled.

The shredding service is free, but Carver Financial Services will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items for the Lake County Salvation Army. For more information, see the Carver Financial Services website.

Protect your identity: keep it safe, and Keep It Out of the Landfill.
