Free Paper Shredding Event Comes To Holmdel, Aberdeen

HOLMDEL, NJ - Five paper shredding events are left in 2020, according to the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

Between August and December 2020, the county has scheduled 11 upcoming paper shredding events in local municipalities to give residents opportunities to dispose of old files and confidential documents safely.

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

All shredding events will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the following sites:

• Saturday, Nov. 7 – Holmdel Dept. of Public Works Yard, 14 Crawfords Corner Road
• Saturday, Nov. 21 – Aberdeen, 1 Aberdeen Sq. /141 Church St.
• Saturday, Nov. 28 – Colts Neck Town Hall Parking Lot, 124 Cedar Dr.
• Saturday, Dec. 5 - Monmouth Beach Bathing Pavilion, 29 Ocean Ave.
• Saturday, Dec. 12 - Manasquan, 4th Ave. parking lot on the corner of Main St. & 4th

Monmouth County locals are permitted to bring up to 100 pounds of documents to be shredded. The free event will stop once the shredding truck is full.

All papers will be shredded on location in a mobile truck; large binder clips must be removed from documents (staples and paper clips can remain).

Information about the paper shredding events and recycling can be found via www.visitmonmouth.com or by contacting (732) 683-8686 ext. 8967.
