Join us at our Community Shred Days taking place at the dates and locations: Saturday, Oct. 5, 10 a.m. – noon at Washington Trust, 330 Newport Ave., Rumford, R.I., and Our Lady of Mercy School, 55 4th Ave., East Greenwich, R.I.

Saturday, Oct. 26, 10 a.m. – noon at Washington Trust, 14 Clara Drive, Mystic, Conn., and Washington Trust, 236 Centerville Road, Warwick, R.I.

Bring old bank statements, tax documents and any other old documents that contain your personal or financial information to be shredded. We can also accept DVDs, CDs, cassette tapes, and floppy discs that have been removed from their case. No items containing heavy metal are accepted at Shred Day events; we don’t accept batteries, cell phones or hard drives.

In order to accommodate as many people as possible, we ask that you bring a maximum of two boxes of documents to shred. Please be prepared for staff to dump your documents into Shred-It bins, and then return your boxes back to you.

Guests are also encouraged to bring a donation of a nonperishable food item to benefit local food bank agencies ahead of the holidays.
