Addabbo to Host Paper Shredding and Household Goods Collection

As a way to help their constituents clear out files and properly dispose of personal papers and donate usable household items to benefit veterans, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is hosting a special event that combines those two elements.

On Saturday, April 13, 2024, Addabbo will partner with the Shops at Atlas Park, located at 8000 Cooper Avenue in Glendale for this special event from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. shredding paper and documents. The United Veterans War Council will be collecting donations for veterans including clothing, kids' toys, shoes, household items, books and smaller furniture pieces.

“It is important to know that your documents, or your clients' documents, with sensitive personal information like social security numbers and account numbers have been properly shredded and recycled,” Addabbo said. “This is also a great opportunity to help our veterans. Clear out the clutter from your home and give your lightly worn clothes and used furniture to service members who could really benefit from it.’

Items that cannot be shredded during this event include any cardboard, newspapers, file folders, and metals or plastics. There will be a (3) copy box limit on how much can be shredded per person to ensure that all participants have the opportunity to shred their materials.
