Stop Identity Theft: Lake View Plans Paper Shredding Event

Is your filing cabinet packed to the brim with old, useless documents? Get rid of them safely while keeping your identity protected at Lake View’s document and paper shredding event.

On Sunday Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) and Midway Movers will host a shredding day at St. Joseph's Hospital, located near the corner of Sheridan Road and Surf Street. There’s no limit to how much residents can bring, and the drop-off process takes less than a minute.

According to Midway Movers' website, paper shredding benefits the environment by recycling the cardboard and paper rather than throwing it away, and by scheduling area moving projects with shredding events. "When one of our 200 vehicles goes out for a move, it comes back full of paper, not empty," the website reads.

Residents are asked to bring their paper documents to the hospital’s surface parking lot between the hours of noon and 4 p.m.. Crews from Midway Movers will be there to confidentially destroy any and all paper documents free of charge.
