The Westchester County Mobile Shredder will be in the Village of Sleepy Hollow from 10 am to 1 pm Saturday, helping residents accomplish two things at once.
- Protect yourself from identity thieves
- Recycle paper
It will be parked across the street from Village Hall, said Village Clerk Paula A. McCarthy Tompkins.
Residents of Westchester County can bring up to 4 file-size (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential personal papers per household. Please remove all large binder clips and covers.
According to the county's mobile shredder webpage, papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises will not be accepted. County staff will inspect all paper to be shredded and will reject any paper identified as commercial or institutional. Businesses should contract with a paper shredding company for this service.
Service works on a first-come-first-served basis. Be advised that on occasion, at a highly attended event, the Mobile Shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity for paper shredding before closing time. Although infrequent, residents should be aware of this and open minded of the possibility of an early closure.
