Johns Creek to offer free document shredding

Johns Creek residents can safely dispose of sensitive documents June 1, by taking them to a commercial shredder at Panera Bread Company, 11715 Medlock Bridge Road.

The shredding service, available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., is sponsored by the restaurant chain and the city. All paper will be recycled. The shredding is done on-site for free.

The Federal Trade Commission recommends shredding private documents as a means to combat identity theft.
