Mobile Shredder Coming to Ossining

The following is a news release from Westchester County.

Westchester County Government along with the Village of Ossining wants to protect you against identity theft and help recycle paper at the same time.

This Saturday, October 15th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., you can bring unwanted documents to the Community Center, at 95 Broadway in Ossining, to be shredded on the spot with the county’s Mobile Shredder.

Papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises will not be accepted. County staff will inspect all paper to be shredded and will reject any paper identified as commercial or institutional. Businesses should contract with a Paper Shredding Company for this service.

Residents of Westchester County can bring up to 4 file-size (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential personal papers per household.  Please remove all large binder clips and covers. 

Service at the events works on a first-come-first-served basis. Be advised that on occasion, at a highly attended event, the Mobile Shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity for paper shredding before closing time. Although infrequent, residents should be aware of this and open minded of the possibility of an early closure. Also, in extreme weather, when working conditions are deemed unsafe, events may be cancelled or terminated early.  On the day of an event, residents can call the county's Recycling HelpLine at (914) 813-5425 to check on a cancellation or early closure.
