3 Shred Events Coming Up For Burlington County Residents

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — It's about time to think about spring cleaning, and Burlington County will have three paper shredding events in the coming months.

The dates of these shred events are March 20, April 10, and May 15, the county announced. All three are rain or shine and will be held 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Burlington County Resource Recovery Complex/Landfill at 22000 Burlington-Columbus Road Florence, NJ 08518.
