TAMPA -- Residents in Hillsborough County get a chance to destroy old personal information this weekend.
Whether it's on a piece of paper, a computer or a phone, Shredfest will help Hillsborough residents get rid of it. Eric Olsen with county consumer and veteran services says E-shredding is becoming more important, and the county is offering that too. E-shredding involves destroying drives on computers and phones that could store individual information.
Shredfest happens from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, March 2nd, at Veterans Memorial Park on U-S 301. You're limited to three boxes or three garbage bags of shreddables. The service is intended for individuals who are Hillsborough County residents, not businesses.
