Fall Shredding Event

Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. and Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar are hosting a special event aimed at assisting constituents in decluttering their files while responsibly disposing of personal documents and donating usable household items to support veterans.

The event will be held on Sunday, September 29, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Forest Park Bandshell Parking Lot in Woodhaven. Attendees will have the opportunity to securely shred old papers and documents. Additionally, the United Veterans War Council will be present to collect donations for veterans, including clothing, toys for children, shoes, household goods, books, and smaller furniture items.

“It’s crucial to ensure that documents containing sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers and account details, are properly shredded and recycled,” Addabbo said. “This event also provides a wonderful chance to aid our veterans. Clear out your home of excess items and donate gently used clothing and furniture to those who have served our country.”

Please note that items such as cardboard, newspapers, file folders, and any metals or plastics cannot be shredded at this event. To ensure everyone has a chance to participate, there is a limit of three copy boxes per person for shredding.
