Shred Documents Free at Courthouse Saturday

Douglas County residents will be able to bring their personal documents, tax records, financial reports, old love letters - anything on paper! - to the Douglas County Courthouse on Saturday morning, May 18, for "The Great Douglas County Shredding Event," sponsored by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and Wells Fargo Bank.

Wells Fargo Bank is bringing a bank-quality shredding truck to the Courthouse parking lot, and residents will be able to "drive through" the area with the truck to have their papers shredded while they watch.  The shredding will be conducted by a FDIC contractor, so will be the diamond cross-shredding that is not reconstructable.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, and residents will be directed through the Courthouse parking lot to the drive-through area.

The event is free, and open to the public.  The shredding is limited to the personal records of County residents; businesses are not eligible for this service.

Wells Fargo Bank and the Board of Commissioners are sponsoring "The Great Douglas County Shredding Event"  to protect our residents' identity and safety.
