dates
Residents can dispose of old documents
safely
FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County
Commissioners is announcing that the County will be hosting paper shredding
events at locations throughout the County so residents can dispose of their old
documents and confidential files safely.
“The Board of County
Commissioners is proud to partner with our municipalities to provide residents
with 16 opportunities to dispose of their unneeded paperwork and documents,”
said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Monmouth County
Department of Public Works and Engineering. “These free events not only help
residents remove some of the clutter from their homes, but they also help
residents protect personal information that may be on files such as bank
statements, medical records, legal documents and utility bills from identity
thieves. On behalf of the Commissioners, I would like to thank our partners for
partnering with us in offering this important service to our residents during
2024.”
