Union Bank & Trust to Host Free Community Shred-it Day

Omaha, NE…Union Bank & Trust Company is teaming up with Shred-it, the world’s largest on-site shredding and recycling company, to hold a Community Shred and provide helpful information to protect against identity theft.

When: Saturday, June 10th — 9:00am to 12:00pm

Where: Union Bank, 177th & West Center Road

What: Shred-it mobile shredding trucks will shred up to 50 pounds of personal documents for free, including CD’s and other media. Experts from Union Bank & Trust will be on hand to offer tips for consumers to protect themselves against identity theft.

Why: Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of consumer fraud. Union Bank and Shred-it are committed to educating the community on how to prevent identity theft by encouraging proper destruction of bills, bank statements and other personal documents rather than disposing of them in a non-secure place such as garbage bags or recycling bins where they can be stolen.

Dave Erker, Senior Vice President of Business Banking, says of the event, “Union Bank is committed to supporting the Omaha community through projects, donations, special events and education. Shred-it Day addresses an increasing threat—identity theft—and is aimed at educating people in Omaha to protect themselves against this threat.”
