Shred Your Secrets In Maplewood Saturday

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - Those who have been waiting to purge their homes of their double-secret documents safely will have the chance to do so at the Maplewood Department of Public Works shredding event on Saturday.

The DPW shredding event is scheduled from 8 a.m. to noon, or until the truck fills up, whichever occurs first.

Shred-It Day is an opportunity for Maplewood residents to shred any personal paper items such as legal documents, private records and files, books, etc. Saturday's Shred-It Day is at the Maplewood Recycling Center, located at 359 Boyden Ave.

In order to better accommodate our residents, there will be two shredding trucks at the event. Officials said that this is a service provided only for Maplewood residents and residents should be prepared to show a government issued photo ID and proof of residency.

Those with questions can contact Maplewood DPW at 973-762-1175 or publicworksinfo@twp.maplewood.nj.us.
