CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Identity protection became a weighty topic at Fort Campbell Federal on October 17 as nearly 300 local families safely disposed of six tons of sensitive documents.

The Credit Union’s free community Shred Day was conducted to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud while furthering its Green Certification Initiative.

The Shred-it trucks were on hand at two branch locations to receive sensitive documents from local residents. Shred-it takes the shredded paper to be recycled into secondary paper products such as paper towels and tissue which helps protect our natural resources while reducing landfill waste.

Fort Campbell Federal hosts its free Community Shred Days semi-annually in Clarksville, Tennessee and Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
