TRUSSVILLE The Trussville Chamber of Commerce reported a successful Community Shred Day on Friday, April 30, 2021.
Nearly 250 vehicles came through the line at the Trussville Civic Center to give their sensitive documents to Gone for Good Document & E-Waste Solutions trucks.
Garet Smitherman, with the Better Business Bureau, said the free event could prevent someone from becoming a victim of identity theft.
“I think a lot of people would assume that most identity theft occurs from a data breach online or something like that, but in reality, the majority are traced back to a piece of paper, a tangible document that ends up in the wrong person’s hands.”

Teacher Liz Glasgow on COVID: ‘I had to really, really budget’

For the first few months after the pandemic hit, life was hard for Liz Glasgow and her young son. The restaurant in the Talladega County town of Lincoln where she worked as a cook closed down. And COVID closures made it so she was no longer able to lead Zumbini music and dance classes for small children at the Trussville Civic Center, a pursuit she pours her heart into and considers a personal passion.
“When the pandemic first hit, obviously we were all like, this is going to be over in two or three weeks, but when I couldn’t teach the Zumbini classes anymore, it was like, what am I going to do? I had to think outside the box,” said Glasgow, who lives in Cropwell, a small St. Clair County community.
