City of Hollywood residents who would like to destroy unwanted receipts, personal and business records, and other documents are invited to shred up to 10 boxes of paperwork free of charge at the west side parking lot of Hollywood City Hall on Saturday, August 18 from 8 a.m. to noon or until the disposal truck reaches capacity. Proof of Hollywood residency is required.
The City of Hollywood’s Office of the City Clerk-Records and Archives Division is hosting this event to help residents protect themselves against identity theft. Between 500,000 and 700,000 Americans are victimized every year by criminals who cash in on stolen identities, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Identity theft often results in lost money, the need to close fraudulent bank and credit card accounts, damage to a person’s credit rating, and being denied credit, loans, or other services.
Residents who would like more information about this event can contact the City of Hollywood Records and Archives Division at 954.921.3545.
