11 Paper Shredding Events To Take Place Across Monmouth County

FREEHOLD, NJ – A free paper shredding service will once again be available to Monmouth County residents, according to a release from the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

From August to December, paper shredding events will take place across the county, allowing residents to discard up to 100 pounds of documents. Large binder clips must be removed from documents; staples and paper clips can remain.

All papers will be shredded on location in a mobile truck. The shredding event will stop once the shredding truck is full, according to the release.

“Identity theft is a malicious use of someone else’s identity,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Monmouth County Recycling Division, in a statement. “Discarding of personal documents properly protects residents from identity theft, but also helps reduce your impact on the environment.”

Participating municipalities include Aberdeen, Atlantic Highlands, Belmar, Colts Neck, Eatontown, Holmdel, Manasquan, Marlboro, Middletown, Monmouth Beach and Union Beach.

Shredding events will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the following locations:
