Addabbo to Host Shredding and Household Goods Collection Event

Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is hosting a special event to assist constituents in securely disposing of personal documents and donating usable household items to support veterans. It will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Forest Park Bandshell Parking Lot in Forest Park. 

This event will offer free paper shredding services, ensuring that your sensitive documents are securely destroyed. The United Veterans War Council will also be on-site to collect donations for veterans, including clothing, children's toys, shoes, household items, books, and smaller furniture pieces.

“It’s crucial to ensure that sensitive documents containing personal information—like Social Security numbers and account details—are properly shredded and recycled,” said Addabbo. “This event is also a wonderful opportunity to support our veterans. Clear out the clutter from your home and donate lightly used items to those who have served our country.”

Please note that the following items cannot be shredded: cardboard, newspapers, file folders, metals, and plastics. To ensure that all participants have the opportunity to shred their materials, there will be a limit of three copy boxes per person.
