LAKEPORT, Calif. – Protect yourself from identity theft by safely destroying your unneeded personal documents in the Shred-It truck sponsored by Umpqua Bank and Strong Financial Network.

Invite your friends and family members to take advantage of this free shredding service.

You may bring up to three boxes/bags of old documents that you would like to have shredded to the parking lot of Umpqua Bank in Lakeport, 805 11th St., from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 28.

Be sure your documents are free of binders (paper clips and staples are acceptable). They will have workers ready to help you unload your documents and you can even watch them be shredded.

If you can’t make it on April 28, Umpqua Bank in Lakeport and Kelseyville, 4280 Main St., will have shredding bins available after April 28 until they are full (limit of three boxes/bags per drop off, please).
