Tracy City Hall hosts free document shredding event for identity theft protection

The City of Tracy held a meeting on April 12, 2025, to discuss an upcoming Free Document Shredding Event aimed at helping residents protect themselves from identity theft and fraud. The event will take place in the North parking lot at Tracy City Hall, located at 333 Civic Center Plaza, with entry from East Street.

During the meeting, officials outlined the specifics of the event, emphasizing that it will provide safe on-site destruction of sensitive documents. Residents are encouraged to bring old papers for shredding, including those with staples, folders, and magazines. However, certain items will not be accepted, including CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, X-rays, and binders.

Each household or business is limited to three banker boxes of documents for shredding. Additionally, attendees are encouraged to consider donating any books and magazines they no longer need to the Tracy Branch Library before the shredding process.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the importance of safeguarding personal information and the community's opportunity to recycle unwanted documents responsibly. Further details about the event will be shared as the date approaches.
