Free Document Shredding Event In Narberth Oct 5

NARBERTH, PA — A free document shredding event is being held in Narberth in early October thanks to State Rep. Pamela A. DeLissio, D-Montgomery/Philadelphia.

DeLissio is hosting a free shredding event from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (or until the truck is full) on Saturday, Oct. 5 in the parking lot of the Magisterial District Court, 925 Montgomery Ave. in Narberth.

All shredding occurs on site, is brought back to the Proshred facility, baled and sent to a recycling company, where it is made into new paper products.

There’s a maximum of four boxes or grocery bags per household.

Newspapers, magazines and journals are not accepted.

The event will be held rain-or-shine.

"Safe disposal of documents with personal information is one of the best defenses against scams and identity theft," DeLissio said. "Shredding also is a great way to dispose of these documents in an environmentally friendly way, and I am happy to offer this service to my constituents."

In the spring of 2019, DeLissio’s constituents shredded 22,200 pounds of paper, which has an environmental impact of saving 189 trees, 282,000 kilowatt hours of energy, 33.30 cubic yards of landfill space and 77,700 gallons of water, according to Proshred Security.
