Residents can bring up to 4 file-size (10" x12" x15") boxes of confidential papers per household to Joseph G. Caputo Community Ctr. from 10 AM to 1 PM for shredding. Please remove all large binder clips and covers. Papers from businesses, institutions, or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected, as will any junk mail or newspapers.Service at the event works on a first-come-first-served basis, as the Mobile Shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity before closing.
It is important to know where you place the paper to be shredded - and it should not be with matches, lighters, or anything combustible. Staff at the event will check the material before being shredded.
Please call the county's Recycling Helpline at (914) 813-5425 to check on a cancellation or early closure.
Remember, it's best to shred documents you're no longer using that contain personal identifying information such as name, address, phone number, credit card number, or social security number. Such documents should be shredded before they are thrown out for recycling.
Some examples are:
*expired credit card statements and receipts
*old tax returns or personal documents containing your name, address, or other identifying information.
*pre-approved credit card applications licenses
As this service is gaining in popularity, residents should be prepared to wait as lines are sometimes long. However, the wait doesn't have to be that long. Come prepared. This means you've removed all metal clips, fasteners, binders, folders, and hard covers and placed the papers loosely in a box. Hardcovers – cardboard or plastic covers on items such as ledger books, marble composition books, and hardcover books – cannot be shredded and will be turned away. Residents must rip pages from hardcover books for shredding and throw the covers in their regular household trash.
