If You Don’t Need It, SHRED IT!
On April 20, 2024, we’re having a Community Shred Day from 9:00 a.m. - noon at our Corporate Location only. Tipton County Recycling is co-hosting the event.

Important Information
On Friday, March 10, 2023, Federal Regulators shut down Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) due to its lack of liquidity. SVB had a structure very different than traditional financial institutions, as it was a crucial player in the tech and venture capital community. Closely connected with SVB, regulators also closed Signature Bank on Sunday, March 12, 2023. Signature Bank provided banking services to real estate companies, law firms, and cryptocurrency companies. According to regulators, all depositors of both institutions will have access to and receive their full deposits, and taxpayers will not bear losses.
