  Ferndale, Michigan – Over five tons of documents were collected for shredding as more than 400 Credit Union ONE members converged at the Credit Union ONE Macomb Branch to participate in a document shred day.  The annual event, held on Saturday, May 16th gave members the opportunity to protect themselves from identity theft and fraud.
 

“To create an awareness about the risks of identity theft and fraud, and to provide a safe and convenient way to dispose of unneeded paperwork, we have been holding document shred events for our members," said John Kozich, Credit Union ONE Vice President of Community Relations. "The response continues to grow as more members are becoming aware of the dangers of identity theft and fraud, and we plan to continue offering this service at various Credit Union ONE locations.”

 

In addition to the success of the shredding event, generous members donated over $314 to support the Children’s Miracle Network while at the event.

 

"This is a great service for members," said Credit Union ONE member Michelle Schoenek.  "The workers were so helpful and polite, and I am very happy to get all of that paper out of my house."

 

Shred Corp., the industry-leading document recycling company donated their time and equipment to provide secure on-site shredding services.  After the event, the shredded paper waste was taken away for recycling into paper towel.
