Wyckoff's Personal Document Shredding Event a Success

Approximately 300 residents deposited their personal documents at the Wyckoff Township Committee and the Environmental Commission’s free personal shredding event on Oct. 25, which resulted in approximately 12,000 pounds or six tons of shredded recycled paper.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, for every ton of paper that is recycled and re-directed into post consumer production, 17 trees are allowed to grow and are not required as raw material for the production of paper.

If you missed this event or have more personal documents that you would like to have shredded free of charge next spring, sign up your email address at E-News on the home page of www.wyckoff-nj.com to receive notices of next spring’s event.

The Township Committee extends its thanks to residents who participated in this event and requests that residents continue to recycle and participate in the Township’s Nifty Fifty program to reduce the amount of household garbage placed at the curb by identifying recyclables to place in the user friendly single stream recycling curbside collection.

Thanks to the many volunteers (in typical Wyckoff fashion) that volunteered to staff the event, Ramapo High School students, Environmental Commission volunteers Green Team Task Force volunteers, CERT members, Township Committee members and Benjamin C. Fox, Chief of Police.
