Document Shredding & Recycling
Program For Passaic County Residents
NEW JERSEY – The Passaic County Office of Solid Waste & Recycling Programs will be bringing its next Confidential Document Shredding & Recycling Program to the Passaic County Para-transit Facility Parking Lot, located at 1310 Route 23 North, Wayne, NJ on Saturday, March 5, 2016 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, rain or shine. This program is free of charge to Passaic County residents, who may bring up to 6 “banker’s boxes” worth (10 inches high by 13 inches wide by 16 inches long) of personal paper items to be confidentially shredded and recycled, although material can be brought in the container of choice. No commercial businesses will be allowed.
Material accepted for shredding includes: tax returns, credit card statements, old checks, medical information (no x-rays), bank statements, utility bills, computer print-outs, copy paper (all colors), envelopes, letterhead and stationery. Unacceptable material includes binders, plastics, overnight shipping envelopes, photographs, carbon paper, and non-paper items. Participants should be prepared to take with them the receptacles that their documents were brought in, i.e. boxes, bags, etc. after discarding their documents for shredding.
According to Nina Seiden, Passaic County’s Solid Waste & Recycling Programs Manager, participants may watch their documents on camera as they are securely shredded and recycled by the vendor, All-Shred, Inc. of Paterson, N.J. “This is a great free service for Passaic County residents to clean out those unwanted but very personal documents, knowing that they will be securely destroyed and recycled. We are pleased to be able to bring this program to Passaic County and hope that many people will take advantage of this valuable service,” Seiden said.
