Cedar Grove Fire Department To Host Document Shred Day Event

CEDAR GROVE, NJ — The members of Center Fire Company #1 of the Cedar Grove Volunteer Fire Department, in conjunction with Safe Shredding of New Jersey, will hold their annual community document destruction event on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Center Fire Company located in the Municipal Building at 525 Rt.23 in Cedar Grove.

“Storage of excessive documents not only takes up your valuable space, but adds an unnecessary fire load to your home and can become a fire hazard. Just as important, is preventing theft of your sensitive information,” fire officials stated in a news release. “The Cedar Grove Volunteer Fire Department in cooperation with Safe Shredding LLC is offering a safe secure way of disposing of these documents and avoiding potential identity theft.”

Center Fire Company members are asking for a nominal donation of $10 per copier paper size box of documents. The documents will be shredded on site in the person’s presence. Acceptable documents include old bank statements, credit card statements, tax records and “any other sensitive documents to be shredded.”
