Bradford National Bank will be hosting a free secure shredding and recycling day. On Saturday, October 7 from 9 to 11 a.m., the shred truck will be at Bradford National Bank in Centralia, located at 1425 E. McCord in Centralia. Bradford National Bank is providing this service at no charge to the community.

Many items can be recycled; however, Bradford National Bank recommends the secure destruction of old financial documents such as canceled checks, bank statements, tax files, paid bills, and investment statements.

Please note: Metal, including clips and binders, as well as plastics and computer disks and CDs must be removed from the materials.

Randy Alderman, Bradford National Bank security officer, said, “We have been doing these events twice each year for the past 13 years, and have securely destroyed tons and tons of old financial documents. People really do understand the importance of securely destroying their old financial records.” He added, “We are pleased to provide this important service to the community at no charge.”

Delivery of items can be contactless as well. Shred workers can remove the boxes and bags from the back seat, trunk, hatch, or bed of a truck. Users of this service do not even have to get out of their car. Items received will be shredded on-site by a licensed and bonded service provided by the bank.
