The city of Aliso Viejo’s successful Document Shredding/Identity Theft Protection and e-waste event resulted in 22,691 pounds (11.3 tons) of paper shred and 3,422 pounds of e-waste recycled. The May 19 event in the Soka University parking lot was designed to protect residents from identity theft, provide a free public service and benefit the environment. Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention. Along with having their documents shred, folks recycled electronic waste such as old cell phones, computers, monitors, printers and such with e-Recycling of California. The city plans to host another document shredding and e-waste event next year. Stay tuned to the city’s eNews and Twitter for more information.
