Maine State Credit Union returns its annual Shred-It Days, a series of free community events designed to help individuals safely and securely dispose of sensitive documents.

"A longtime favorite among members and community members alike, the events provide convenient access to professional on-site shredding services at no cost," said MSCU, in a news release. "In partnership with Records Management Center, these events offer secure, on-site document destruction, giving participants peace of mind that their personal and financial information is properly protected."

Community members are encouraged to bring old paperwork, such as bank statements, credit card bills, pay stubs, ATM receipts, and other documents containing signatures, account numbers, or personal identifying information.

The 2026 Shred-It Day schedule includes six events held across Maine State Credit Union’s service areas:

• Augusta Shred-It Day – Friday, May 22
  200 Capitol Street, Augusta | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• Rockland Shred-It Day – Friday, June 26
  168 Camden Street, Rockland | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• Gray Shred-It Day – Friday, July 24

• Damariscotta Shred-It Day – Friday, October 16

  "While Shred-It Days focus on safely disposing of unnecessary documents, individuals are reminded to retain important personal records in a secure location," said the news release. "Items such as birth, marriage, and death certificates; identification documents; passports; wills; legal documents; and vehicle titles should be kept rather than shredded."
  
  Open to both members and the public, Shred-It Days reflect Maine State Credit Union’s ongoing commitment to community education, fraud prevention, and helping individuals protect their personal information.
