The Department of Neighborhoods' ID Theft Prevention & Document Shredding Initiative has ended, and there are no more shredding events scheduled. 

We thank our corporate partner Data Shredding Services of Texas, Inc. for its generous contribution of services, which benefited thousands of Houston residents over the initiative's two and a half year run.   Thanks also to the Houston Police Department for informing the public about identify theft prevention as part of this initiative.

Residents can easily access listings of established, reputable companies that offer shredding services.  Residents can also monitor Houston area community calendar listings for announcements about free shredding services that may be offered by community entities from time to time.
