SMITHFIELD, R.I. - Navigant Credit Union continued its “Community Shred Event” series this month shredding and recycling more than 22,000 pounds of sensitive documents across five Rhode Island locations.
Hosted in partnership with ShredRI, Navigant Credit Union’s shred event was held across branch locations in East Providence, Chepachet, Cumberland, South Kingstown, and Warwick. During these events, all Rhode Islanders – regardless of whether they are Navigant Credit Union members – were invited to drop off their personal or professional documents to be shredded and recycled, free-of-charge.
“Helping Rhode Islanders protect themselves against fraud and identity theft is a key component to improving the financial well-being of Rhode Island families and businesses, and we were thrilled to see so many Rhode Islanders embrace this opportunity last weekend,” said Navigant Credit Union President and CEO Kathy Orovitz.
