Event Recap: Spring Cleaning / Paper Shredding 2019

Clients and friends of Strategic Wealth Partners (SWP) did some spring cleaning by disposing sensitive documents at the annual SWP shred event. The spring snow did not dampen our spirits as we shredded 1,843 pounds of paper. Opportunity Secure Data Destruction (OSDD) of Northbrook, IL once again provided the mobile shredding services. We hope to see you all at next year’s spring cleaning/paper shredding event – hopefully sans snow!

If you are planning to do a purging party, tame your desire to toss everything. Instead, consider these guidelines to help you decide what documents to keep, shed or shred.
