Tomorrow is Shred Fest 2011! Hello Springton, are you ready to SHRED? WE CAN'T HEAR YOU! On Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 16 locations throughout the city, you'll be able to bring mail and other documents that contain personal information—such as bank statements, paycheck stubs and credit card applications—to be shredded, securely disposed of and recycled for free. And as if that wasn't exciting enough, the first four people to arrive ready to shred at each location will receive a complimentary personal paper shredder donated by Staples. Unfortunately, city employees are not eligible to get the free shredders—sorry, NYPD!

The Shred Fest 2011 website has all the details on the shredding locations, and here are some tips on preventing identity theft. To get in the Shred Fest spirit, here's Fugazi's Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto shredding Furniture in Louisville, Kentucky.
