After a two-year COVID-19 pandemic delay, AARP Hawaii, in partnership with Access Corporation, will hold a free document shredding and food drive event on Maui from 8 to 11 a.m. September 10.
Appointments must be made to drop off documents for shredding. Those without an appointment will be turned away.
"AARP Hawaii and Access are excited to offer this event to help people avoid identity theft and safely dispose of their confidential information," said Jackie Boland, Community Outreach Director for AARP Hawaii, in a news release. "This year is different. We are coming out of a pandemic so we are being cautious. Space is limited and people must pre-register and provide their contact information in order to participate. Unregistered participants won't be accommodated this year."
People can drive up and drop off up to two boxes of documents per person. Staples and paperclips do not need to be removed.
Boxes and bags will not be returned.
Due to safety and traffic-flow concerns, the public must remain in their vehicles. Drop offs will be limited to 2 bags or boxes per person in each vehicle.
Walk-ups will not be allowed.
Access Corporation requires a signed document release form before documents are shredded. Forms for each person dropping off documents can be downloaded during registration -- sign the forms before drop off.
AARP Hawaii requests that individuals bring a check or donations of rice and canned goods to benefit Hawaii's hungry families through the Maui Food Bank.
To register for shredding, visit aarp.cvent.com/hifraud. The location will be given after registration.
