Addabbo & Rajkumar to Host Free Paper Shredding & Household Goods Collection

To help their constituents clear out files and properly dispose of personal papers and donate useable household items to benefit veterans, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. and Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar are hosting a special event that combines those two elements. It is co-sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union.

On Sunday, April 28, USA Shred will be at the Forest Park Bandshell Parking lot, located in Forest Park on Forest Park Drive in Woodhaven from 10 a.m. to 2 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. I would like to thank my colleague Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar for partnering with me on this event.”

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. 

 “I would like to thank our partners in USA Shred and the United War Veterans Council, the Parks Department, and GCOP for their continued participation in helping to keep the traffic moving during these popular events,” Addabbo added.
