Smith, Mustio, Moon Township Partner for Shredding Event

State Senator Matt Smith is partnering with state Rep. Mark Mustio and Moon Township to offer a free shredding event for constituents. 

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 15 in the parking lot of the 1000 Beaver Grade Rd., Moon Township.

“This is a great opportunity for residents to have their sensitive documents safely and securely destroyed free of charge,” Smith said.

Residents can bring boxes of unwanted documents that may contain personal information including Social Security, credit card or bank account numbers. Common types of unwanted items that should be shredded may include credit card statements or applications, bank statements, canceled checks, income tax information and insurance records. Document shredding will occur on-site with the shredded paper later to be recycled. 

"When Senator Smith first discussed this event with me I thought it was a great public service and I am appreciative of his offer to our office to participate," Mustio said.

“On behalf of Moon Township’s residents we are grateful to Senator Smith and Representative Mustio for making this invaluable service available to our community,” Moon Township Manager Jeanne Creese said. “The township has received several requests for a document shredding service, especially in the spring and early summer months during tax season and when residents are spring cleaning in their homes.”

Smith is expanding his identity theft prevention and shredding event program to his new Senate district in an effort to bring information and awareness to more constituents.

“As a state representative, I was able to help constituents destroy several tons of sensitive documents that could have otherwise put them at risk for identity theft,” Smith said. 

More information is available through Smith’s website, or by calling his office at 412-571-2169 or toll free at 866-736-7477.
