Shredding truck available at MTSU Rutherford Blvd. lot
MURFREESBORO — MTSU
students and local residents can protect themselves from identity theft by
participating in a community shredding event from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18,
at the Rutherford Boulevard parking lot at Middle Tennessee State University.
The free event allows students and other residents to safely
destroy records that have personally identifiable information on them. The Tennessee
Department of Safety and Homeland Security is sponsoring the event in
coordination with the MTSU Department of Public Safety.
A shredding truck will be parked on the lot for anyone to bring
paper items that they would like to be shredded, said Barry Crotzer, regional
advisor for the Identity Crimes Unit of the Tennessee Department of Safety and
Homeland Security.
“Our main audience will be the students on campus, but we
will welcome all those in the community who may need the service,” Crotzer
said.
Citizens can bring a maximum of two boxes or trash bags of
personal or private documents to shred. No cardboard or non-paper items will be
accepted.
All vehicles must be in line by 6 p.m. in order to discard
their items. For directions to the Rutherford lot, a printable campus map is
available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap13-14.
