CHICAGO – State Senator Bill Cunningham and State Representative Mary Gill are hosting a free community shred event on Friday, Aug. 4 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Apollo Recreation Center, located at 12521 S. Kostner Ave. in Alsip.

“This free event is a good chance for residents to safely dispose of personal information and keep themselves safe from things like identity fraud,” said Cunningham, a Democrat who represents portions of Chicago and the Southwest Suburbs.

The event will proceed until noon or whenever the shred truck is full. There is a limit of two boxes of documents per car.
