The Stinger

On Saturday, June 5, 2010, the City of Camarillo will host a secure paper shredding event at Adolfo Camarillo High School, 4660 Mission Oaks Blvd., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thanks to a partnership with RSI Shredding and Adolfo Camarillo High School, this event is available to the residents and businesses, free of charge.

The threat of identity theft makes discarding personal and confidential information with your trash a dangerous practice. It is essential that documents containing Social Security numbers and other identifying information, including credit card statements, applications and receipts, medical records, bank statements, and tax and other legal documents, be safely disposed of to protect yourself and your family.

A maximum of six boxes (15"x12"x9") of paper per customer will be shredded free of charge; additional boxes will be charged a fee of $4 each. Trash items will not be accepted. Personal documents will be shredded on the spot in a specially marked RSI shredding truck before delivery to a recycling center in Ventura County. Customer boxes will be returned to participants for reuse opportunities after their paper is collected and shredded.  A portion of the proceeds received from the recycled paper will be donated to the Adolfo Camarillo High School Recycling Club.
