Last Chance: Gather Important Papers for Free Shredding

Looking for a save place to get rid of your old confidential documents? Well look no further than the Freehold Township Municipal Building.

On Saturday, April 28 the Parking lot will host one of the five Monmouth County paper shredding events.

“We are happy to provide these events for responsible paper disposal and to help residents reduce the potential for identity theft,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry in the event’s press release. “The county continues to be proactive in removing recyclables from our waste stream and we encourage residents to do their part to help by making use of other county services for proper waste disposal as well.”

Residents are able to bring up to 100 lbs of paper to be shredded; the event will only stop once the shredding truck is full. Documents with staples or paper clips can be shredded but make sure that all documents are free of large binder clips.

This is a project of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and partner municipalities.

Information about these paper shredding events, recycling and removing other items from the county’s waste stream may be obtained from the Monmouth County Planning Board section of the county’s Web site at www.visitmonmouth.com or by calling 732-431-7460.

If you are unable to make the Freehold Township location there are four other local locations where paper documents can be disposed of safely.

All shredding events will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. as follows:

• Saturday, March 24 – Atlantic Highlands, Sutton Walk Tennis Court, Parking lot at the Municipal Harbor

• Sunday, April 15 – Belmar, Dempsey Park, 16th and Railroad Avenue

• Saturday, May 5 – Neptune Township Recycling Center, 2201 Heck Ave.
