Community gets ready to shred

Grow Financial and Lakewood Ranch Town Hall have joined forces to offer a free Community Shred Day Saturday, Sept. 22.

Take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of documents that could be used by identity thieves to commit fraud.

Two drop-off locations are available: Lakewood Ranch Grow Financial Branch at 11008 Arcade Place, Bradenton, and Town Hall, 8175 Lakewood Ranch Blvd.

Shredding services will be provided by Accu-Shred. Town Hall is a drop-off location only; shredding can be watched at Grow Personal. The limit is two boxes, no larger than 24 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches.
