Sunset Memorial Park hosts free Drive-through Community Shred Event and Pet Supplies Drive, September 25, 2020

DOTHAN, AL, September 22, 2020: ?In an effort to raise awareness for identity theft protection, while also promoting environmental sustainability, ?Sunset Memorial Park is holding its first-ever free Community Shred Event and Pet Supplies Drive, Friday, September 25 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Sunset Memorial Park; 1700 Barrington Road, Dothan. In addition, Sunset is partnering with the newly-organized Wiregrass Pet Rescue and Adoption Center and collecting pet items and donations.

This event, which offers free document shredding, is open to the public. Sunset is partnering with Assured Data Destruction, a division of Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center (WRC). Assured Data Destruction will collect documents in the Sunset parking lot. Items will then be transported to WRC where they will be safely and securely shredded and recycled.

Sunset hopes to raise awareness about identity theft and emphasize the importance of safely and securely disposing of sensitive documents. They encourage the community to bring items like:

• 
  

  ?  Canceled checks

  
  


• 
  

  ?  ATM and credit card receipts

  
  


• 
  

  ?  Old credit cards and credit card offers

  ?  Tax records and receipts (7+ years)

  
  

  “Paper clutter can get out of hand quickly if you let it,” laughs Sunset Memorial Park Owner, Robert Byrd. “Unfortunately it’s not enough to just throw it out because of identity theft. We’re grateful to partner with Assured Data Destruction to provide this free service to the community. Document shredding is a great way to keep confidential and sensitive information safe,” he adds.

  
  

Sunset will also collect pet food and other pet-related supplies, as well as monetary donations for the Wiregrass Pet Rescue and Adoption Center.

Organizers will be wearing masks and ask that all guests wear masks as well. Collection of items will be facilitated by drive-through, therefore minimizing contact as much as possible.
