Shred your way to security

Two helpers disposing of paper in a blue bin.

Spring is springing! For many people, that means a thorough house cleaning. But while we can’t help you clean your closets or empty your junk drawer, we can help you with your paper clutter. To assist with securely disposing of paper documents, OCCU is bringing Shred Fest 2024 to Lane and Marion counties!  

Since many documents you may have lying around your house or filling up your filing cabinet contain sensitive information, you shouldn’t just toss them in the trash. Rather, you should dispose of them safely. If you don’t have access to a paper shredder, Shred Fest is the perfect opportunity to get your documents shredded for free.  

There are two ways to participate in Shred Fest: drive-up service or branch drop-off. Anyone can participate. Being an OCCU member is not required to get your documents shredded. (But you should consider it.)  

Drive-up service  

The drive-up service event will be held Saturday, May 4 at the OCCU corporate office. We’ll provide free on-the-spot shredding of sensitive documents for up to four boxes per car.  

Saturday, May 4, 2024  
9 a.m. to 2 p.m.  
OCCU Corporate Office
2880 Chad Drive
Eugene, OR 

Branch drop-off  

If you can’t make it on May 4, you can stop by any OCCU branch between April 8 and May 10 and drop off up to two boxes of documents for secure destruction.  

We hope to shred more than ever this year, believing that each document shredded helps keep our members and community safe from identity theft. But shredding isn’t the only way to protect sensitive information or eliminate clutter. Enrolling in eStatements can also get rid of those paper-related headaches.  

With eStatements, storing your financial information is safe and secure. You can easily view current and past statements without the potential fraud risk that comes with paper statements. If you’re an OCCU member, simply sign in to internet banking and click eStatements in the left Quick Links sidebar. You can also look for other opportunities for eStatements with your other financial institutions or utility companies.  

We hope you join us for Shred Fest and shred your way to security!
