TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Attorney General Derek Schmidt says Kansans destroyed more than 5 tons of personal documents during National Consumer Protection Week last week.
Schmidt’s office worked with businesses and organizations in five cities to give citizens a place to drop off personal documents, which were then shredded and recycled.
Schmidt says the events offered a safe way to destroy documents containing personal information that identity thieves like to steal.
The document disposal events were held in Wichita, Salina, Garden City, Topeka and Pittsburg.
