Gather unneeded and outdated personal documents and old cellular phones for Better Business Bureau’s biannual BBB Secure your ID Day, Oct. 18 in Fairbanks. Take advantage of free document shredding and cell phone recycling. Mobile shredding trucks will be on site, accepting up to three bags or boxes of unwanted documents per person. Please note that cardboard and three-ring binders cannot be accepted. Recycled phones will be donated to Verizon’s HopeLine, a nationwide program that wipes data and allocates phones to victims of domestic abuse.

BBB staff and representatives from partnering organizations will be available to answer questions about preventing identity theft and resources for victims.

The event will take place at the Shoppers Forum Mall, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Co-sponsored by Financial Fitness Fair.
