Raleigh, NC -- (SBWire) -- 04/01/2011 -- Better Business Bureau serving Eastern North Carolina (bbb.org) announces today that Cintas Document Management (http://tinyurl.com/Raleigh-Cintas) is sponsoring its “Secure Your ID” Day event on Saturday, April 16, 2011. The company will provide free document shredding to consumers from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Coastal Federal Credit Union headquarters on St. Albans Drive in Raleigh.
Cintas Document Management is a nationally operated company with a local office in Garner, N.C. that offers document shredding, imaging and storage programs to consumers and businesses. This is the third year the company has supported BBB in its identity protection initiatives.
“With the rise of identity theft in recent years, it is imperative that consumers take appropriate steps to safeguard their identity,” says Heath Kallam, general manager of Cintas Document Management’s Garner office. “Through its ‘Secure Your ID’ Day events, BBB provides people with the right tools to protect themselves. We are proud to partner with them.”
Participants are encouraged to bring up to three boxes or bags of documents that have been removed from binders. In addition to free document shredding, BBB and other partner organizations will provide tips and resources to help consumers protect their identity.
“Our identity protection awareness campaigns could not be successful without support from organizations like Cintas Document Management,” says Toby Barfield, president and CEO of BBB serving Eastern North Carolina. “We are thankful for their continued support.”
BBB looks to build upon the success of its October 2010 "Secure Your ID" Day, where more than 420 participants turned out and more than 21,000 pounds of documents were shredded. Additional event information is available at http://www.easternnc.bbb.org/secure-your-id.
