BayCoast, Partners offer free shredding day

FAIRHAVEN – BayCoast Bank is partnering with a Swansea-based insurance agency to offer a free shredding day later this month.
The free shredding day, held in conjunction with Partners Insurance Group LLC, is slated for 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 19 at BayCoast Bank and Partners Insurance offices at 75 Alden Road, Fairhaven.
The event is open to the public and the bank says it’s an “excellent opportunity to bring private, sensitive and/or confidential information to the site to see that it is properly destroyed,” according to a press release.
“There are many devastating results that can come when confidential information falls into the wrong hands, and for many industries, there are regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), which place sever penalties on companies who allow material to get into the wrong hands,” according to the release.
Bank and insurance agency-representatives will be present to answer any questions about the shredding process. There’s a limit of two “bankers boxes,” with dimensions of 12 inches by 10 inches by 15 inches, of documents per person.
