East Windsor Township will be holding a “Township Document Shedding Recycling Day” from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 12, at the East Windsor Township Senior Center, 40 Lanning Boulevard.
Free document shredding will be available to East Windsor residents to dispose of unwanted and unneeded documents. There is a limit of 10 boxes per household, and the service is limited to East Windsor residents. No commercial entities are permitted.
“This is a great opportunity for East Windsor residents to dispose of old or confidential documents in a secure manner,” said Mayor Janice Mironov. “Document shredding provides a non-recoverable tool for providing confidentiality and protecting against identify theft.”
That day, residents will be able to drop off and dispose of cell phones and toner cartridges, fluorescent bulbs and batteries. The East Windsor Lions Club will be on-site collecting used eyeglasses, which are cleaned and distributed for use to those in need. RISE will have trucks on-site to collect clothing, shoes, blankets, housewares (plates, mugs and related items) and usable furniture. Charitable donation receipts will be provided.
Electronics will not be accepted at this event, including televisions, computers, computer monitors and accessories and non-working appliances. These electronic items can be dropped off Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Public Works Facility at the corner of Ward Street and Etra Road.
“We are committed to recycling in East Windsor Township and thereby reducing the township’s solid waste costs, while helping to preserve a greener environment,” said the mayor. “This is an environmentally positive and convenient opportunity for residents to shred documents at no cost and to help support worthwhile area groups and efforts, while helping the township reduce landfill costs and preserve the environment.”
