(Aberdeen, November 12, 2009) — As part of its Personal Security Awareness Month, Aberdeen Proving Ground Federal Credit Union [APGFCU] hosted a free Shred-It Day at its Aberdeen, Edgewood, Elkton and Laurel Bush branches. Attracting over 250 member-owners, the annual event shredded and recycled over 25,000 pounds of paper, the equivalent of saving nearly 130 trees.
The event is designed to provide a fun and fast means for APGFCU member-owners to dispose of sensitive information, decreasing the chance of it being stolen by “dumpster divers” and burglars, and is an effective way to safeguard personal financial information while recycling paper.
APGFCU is also committed to helping member-owners protect their financial information and prevent fraud by offering free online educational resources and free e-Services. For more information, visit www.APGFCU.com or call 410-272-4000, and press four.
