More than 8 Tons Shredded at Summit Credit Union’s ShredFest

October 1, 2024 Madison, Wisc. – Summit Credit Union, a member-owned financial cooperative, hosted its annual ShredFest on September 28. Held in partnership with the Better Business Bureau Serving Wisconsin and Pellitteri Waste Systems, the free event helps protect citizens and Summit’s members against identify theft by shredding paperwork that contains personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers, banking information, bills, credit card statements, documents that include signatures and more.

More than 350 vehicles pulled through Summit’s headquarters in Cottage Grove to drop-off up to three boxes of material for shredding. Two shred trucks were on hand and 8.3 tons was shredded and recycled.

“ShredFest is another example of Summit’s commitment to keeping our members’ information safe. When people take care to shred documents containing sensitive information, they stop fraudsters in their tracks,” said Summit Credit Union CEO & President Kim Sponem. “We value this partnership with The Better Business Bureau Serving Wisconsin and Pellitteri Waste Systems and wish to thank all the volunteers who made another successful ShredFest possible.”
