What to Bring for Shredding: 

1. Junk mail - Junk mail comes in every day. Your personal data may be included in those garbage mailers and credit card offers. Given merely your name, address, and a credit offer, someone could take out a line of credit in your name and spend money, leaving you on the hook.  

2. Medical prescription labels - Prescription labels contain private information, including your name, contact information, and doctor’s name. Someone could use the information fraudulently to refill your prescriptions or get access to your healthcare information and medical background.  

3. Photos and old IDs - Thieves can use your old pictures or IDs maliciously to fake their identity.  

4. Travel itineraries - Thieves can use your travel itineraries to rebook flights and hotels or gain access to your accounts. QR codes on Boarding passe may contain your personally identifiable information. 

5. Shipping labels - If it has a plastic pouch with an insert, like a receipt, an order form, or a confirmation, it likely has personally identifiable information.  

6. Memos and notes - Have a little pad of sticky notes next to your computer? Those handwritten notes are incredibly convenient, super easy to use, and likely contain personal information that you don’t want identity thieves to get their hands on. What was written when the doctor called? What was jotted down during that client call? Did you scribble any passwords while on a call with IT? To be safe, include those used notes on your shred list. 

7. Resumes and CVs - Resumes often contain personal information, like telephone numbers, email and home addresses, and job or education history, identity theft is a potential risk.  

8. Bank/Credit Card statements and canceled checks/receipts - Even old/closed statements should be shredded. Your name, address, phone number, and bank account information are in those statements, along with your habits, purchases, and banking history. Physical copies or reprints of canceled checks from your bank.  

When in doubt, have it shredded!
