The BBB website contains suggestions on which documents should be shredded and how long the records should be retained before shredding them:
- Canceled checks
- Deposit, ATM, credit card and debit card receipts
- Credit card and bank account statements
- Credit card contracts and other loan agreements
- Documentation of a purchase or sale of stocks, bonds and other investments
- Paycheck Stubs
- Utility or monthly bills
There are also ShredFest events in Madison and Appleton. Visit the BBB Shredfest webpage for more information on other ShredFest events and to receive more advice on protecting yourself from identity thieves.
