By shredding these documents, you can protect your identity and help the environment in the process. On a typical Shred Day the bank usually gathers four tons of paper to be shredded. The shredded paper is then recycled and made into new paper. For each ton (2,000 pounds) of paper shredded we are saving 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil and 7,000 gallons of water that would have been used to make the new paper. When you multiply all that by the four, it is quite an impact for just a morning’s work.
Bring your boxes of old medical records, bank statements, tax documents (7 years or older) and even old phone books on October 29th. (Please no plastic, CDs or cardboard; Maximum 5 boxes per carload) Questions? Just call Santa Paula Community Bank at (805) 525-5817.
