East Windsor To Hold Free Shredding & Electronic Recycling Event

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — East Windsor is holding a document shredding and electronics recycling event, on April 17 from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. at the East Windsor Township Senior Center.

The event is free for East Windsor residents who want to dispose of unwanted and unneeded documents. There is a limit of ten boxes per household, and the service is for East Windsor residents only.

“This is a great opportunity for East Windsor residents to dispose of old or confidential documents in a secure manner,” Mayor Janice Mironov said.

“Document shredding provides a non-recoverable tool for providing confidentiality and protecting against identify theft.”

Electronics Recycling is limited to televisions, computers and accessories, monitors, fax machines, cell phones, VCR's, cable boxes and telephones.

All drop offs will be contact-less, and residents must remain in their cars at all times. They need to have their driver’s license to display through the window.

On reaching the drop off point, unlock the trunk and/or doors for township staff to remove the items. Staff wearing masks and gloves will remove items from the trunk and rear seat of the vehicle. Residents should wear masks at the time of drop off.

Mironov said the township was committed to recycling and reducing solid waste costs, “while helping to preserve a greener environment.”

“This is an environmentally positive and convenient opportunity for residents to shred documents and recycle certain items at no cost and to so in a safe manner, while helping the Township reduce landfill costs and preserve the environment.”
