Shred Event
The best way to protect yourself against identity theft is to make sure your personal information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. And just a few minutes on your part could make a huge difference. The US Department of Justice says identity theft hurts millions of people every year. Don't be a victim! Crime Stoppers believes a proactive approach can save you time, money and aggravation -- and we're here to help through this valuable community service.
For a suggested $10 donation, Crime Stoppers will securely shred up to two bankers' boxes of your private documents. This includes old income tax records, bank statements, pay stubs, medical records, cancelled checks, legal documents, utility bills, etc.
Read our recommended record retention guidelines
To speed up the collection and minimize the lines again this year, Triad Shredding, a local, licensed and bonded company, will be shredding collected documents at their secure facility.
Documents will NOT be shredded at the collection site.
A big THANK YOU to Triad Shredding for donating their time, equipment, and services, for supporting Crime Stoppers, and providing this valuable community service!!
Free Prescription Drug Drop Off
A big THANK YOU to the Champaign Police Department and DEA for providing this valuable service to our community!
Cell Phone Recyling - New This Year!
Recycling your cell phone with Crime Stoppers is not only a good way to make sure that your personal data won't fall into the wrong hands, but it's also good for the environment! For a suggested $10 donation per phone, we'll make sure your phone is safely and responsibly recycled. Triad Shredding will remove the batteries then shred all the phones that are collected. The shredded phone and battery packs will then be recycled properly.
