Maui residents can ease some of their worries about identity theft by bringing old tax returns, canceled checks and other confidential papers to a free document-shredding event sponsored by AARP chapters in Kula and Kihei.

A Shred Ex truck will be parked at Home Depot in Kahului from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday to provide drive-through service. Help with unloading is available, but there is a four-box limit. The free shredding is not open to businesses. Documents will be destroyed on-site.
