AMERICAN INSURANCE customers are invited to bring their sensitive personal and confidential documents for our free indoor shredding event.

Guard against identity theft by keeping your sensitive documents out of the trash. Deposit your documents at AMERICAN INSURANCE in a locked, secure bin that will be shredded under the NAID AAA Certification Program by Lewis Clark Recyclers of Lewiston. No one will see your documents and they will be held under secure conditions until shredded. This is one step among

many others you can take to protect your identity.

WHEN? Monday, April 15 through Friday, April 19 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

WHERE? Both American Insurance offices:

• Lewiston office, 55 Southway Ave. (at the roundabout, closest building to the river at Southway & Snake River Ave.)
• Moscow office, 604 S. Washington St. (across from Umpqua Bank at the corner of 6th & Washington St.)

WHAT? Old tax returns, medical records, bank or credit card statements, insurance policies and offers of credit – anything with personally identifiable information like social security numbers, birth dates, account numbers, cancelled checks, etc.
