AARP, BECU, and the AARP Fraud Watch Network invite you to take a simple step to protect yourself from identity theft. Join us for a free document shredding and eCycle event in your community on April 18.

Events will be held in Everett, Federal Way, Tukwila, and Bellingham. All locations will operate from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with shredding available until the trucks are full.

We’ll also be collecting cash, nonperishable food, clothing, and small household items to support local nonprofit organizations serving your neighborhood.

Event Highlights

Free shredding: Bring up to three grocery bags or two banker boxes of sensitive documents for secure shredding at no cost.
eCycle responsibly: Safely recycle old TVs, desktop computers, monitors, laptops, and cellphones. A small recycling fee may apply to certain items, including printers and VCRs.
Give back locally: Donate cash, food, clothing, or small household items. Neighborhood nonprofits will be on-site to accept donations.
Special Tukwila opportunity: In partnership with Bike Works, the Tukwila location will accept bike donations to be refurbished for children and adults in need.
