News & Events

FCCU will be hosting a free shred event alongside Central Business System on Saturday, September 13th from 9:00am until the truck is full, or noon.* This event is open to the public and will be held at their main branch in Jamestown, located at 111 9^th St SW.

Central Business System will have a truck on-site for shredding any unwanted personal, medical or business-related documents at no cost to help you secure your identity. 

Acceptable Items:

• Paper, regular and colored
• Staples
• Paper clips
• Envelopes

CDs will be accepted but they must be in a separate bin and are not able to be shredded on site.

Not accepted:

• Magazines
• Books
• Clasp envelopes
• Binder clips
• Hanging file folders (with the metal bars)

With the ever-growing risk of identity theft, FCCU feels that it’s important to give the community an opportunity to discard confidential documents safely and securely. One-way identity thieves can get your information is by picking through a person’s trash and looking for things that contain identifying information. Shredding those items securely helps prevent the information from getting into the wrong hands.

Susan Long Swen, Senior Event & Community Engagement Specialist at FCCU says, “We know how items such as bank statements, old tax filings, duplicate checks, physician statements, credit card receipts and many other private documents can build up in homes. We want to provide the community with a safe outlet to have them securely destroyed.”

For more information about the shred event on Saturday, September 13th, stop into First Community Credit Union or call 701-252-0360.

*FCCU will accept items until the truck or bins are full.
