AARP Utah knows that shredding sensitive documents with identifying information is key to fighting fraud and identity theft, so we're teaming up with Shred-it again this year to offer FREE shredding events to the public. The first will be in Orem at Timpanogos High School on May 11 from 9:00am--11:00am, and the second will be at the Shred-it facility in Salt Lake City AND the Golden Spike Event Center in Ogden on July 13 from 8:00am--11:00am. Note, this is a new Salt Lake City location, selected to accommodate the large crowds we expect to attend.

During tax season, fraudsters ramp up their scams, so it’s a good time for consumers to focus on protecting themselves from identity theft.

Once again, AARP Utah will host a shredding event as part of AARP's nationwide Operation: Stop Scams events in April and May, aimed at protecting people from identity theft and fraud. This year's shredding event will be held at Timpanogos High School's parking lot on Saturday, May 11 from 9:00am--11:00am. This event is free and open to the public, but if you're an AARP member we ask that you bring your membership card. Shred-it is generously offering its services again this year, and will be shredding all documents on site.
