Should You Shred Bills, Bank Statements, and Junk Mail? Yes — Here’s Why
When it comes to protecting your identity, shredding personal documents is a must — not just a recommendation. From bank statements to credit card offers, failing to destroy sensitive paperwork can leave you vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, and financial loss.
Each year, millions of Americans fall victim to identity theft — and in more than half of these cases, the victims knew the person who stole their information. Sometimes it’s a roommate, coworker, or even a relative. All it takes is access to an account number, credit offer, or utility bill for someone to go on a shopping spree at your expense.
🗑️ Beware of Dumpster Diving — It’s Legal!
Many people don’t realize that once your trash is on the curb, it’s legally public property. That means anyone — including identity thieves — can dig through it, looking for valuable information like:
Account numbers
Social Security numbers
Credit card offers
Insurance and medical info
Utility bills and address labels
That’s why shredding your documents before disposal is a critical first line of defense.
