OAKBROOK TERRACE – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton has teamed up with Oakbrook Terrace Mayor Paul Esposito to host a shred event for residents to safely destroy personal documents at no cost.

“When it comes to protecting yourself against fraud and identity theft, you can never be too careful,” said Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “Documents with personal information like your address, banking information or social security number should be securely shredded.”

The shredding truck will be available in the parking lot of the City of Oakbrook Terrace, located at 17W261 Butterfield Road, from 9 a.m. to noon, or until the truck is full on Saturday, Oct. 12. A limit of two boxes of documents per car is encouraged.

Examples of documents with personally identifiable information that should be safely discarded include bank statements, outdated medical records, tax returns, bills, junk mail, credit card applications and receipts.

Residents with questions can contact Senator Glowiak Hilton’s office at 630-785-3177.
