If you have papers that need to be shredded, you might find a solution this weekend. Navy Federal Credit Union is offering free shredding services at Navy Shred-eral Day events at select locations around the country.
This Saturday, 17 October 2015, from 9 am to 1 pm, participating Navy Federal locations will accept up to four boxes of papers to be shredded. They do ask that all metal bits (paperclips, staples, etc.) be removed first, and they will not be accepting business or commercial materials, CDs, or any other hard materials.
