Shredding Confidential Papers: Why, Where, & How

Shredding documents like bank statements, checks, credit card receipts, credit reports, or ATM receipts is one way to protect personal privacy, prevent identity theft, and reduce clutter in homes. As a financial institution, First Security has a responsibility to assist in these tasks because not everyone has access to a shredder.

We want to help keep personal documents private, so we are offering a FREE shred event for our communities! 

From July 22nd to August 2nd, bins will be at the following First Security Bank locations: Dumont, Manly, Nora Springs, Riceville, Rockford, Rockwell, and Thornton. It will be as simple as walking into the lobby of your First Security location with your documents and putting them into the bins. 

On August 2nd, a truck will be at the Charles City and Hampton locations, which will be perfect for those with a lot to shred! 

• Charles City Location 
  • 809 Clark St. Charles City, IA 50616
  • South of Hy-Vee Parking Lot (This First Security location shares a parking lot with the Hy-Vee.)
  • 8:30 am-10:30 am
• Hampton Location
  • 220 1st St NW, Hampton, IA 50441
  • First Security Drive-Up
  • 11:45 am-1:45 pm  

We do ask that if you have a lot to shred (i.e. truckload or trailer) that you call 641.257.1241 in advance to make an appointment. Thank you for your understanding.
