Today's the day to destroy those confidential papers — pre-approved credit offers, charge receipts, credit applications, old insurance forms and bank statements, expired charge cards, really old tax returns and the like — at the state Capitol, where AARP Hawaii and Shred-it will help you do the disposing. It's free.

Load up two bags or boxes of stuff per person, drive over from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and drop them off.
