 The Mobile Shredder is Coming to Hastings-on-Hudson

Dear Neighbor,

Some examples of documents that should be shredded before being thrown out for recycling include old bills and invoices, driver licenses, expired credit cards, bank and store receipts, pre-approved credit card applications, old tax returns and supporting documents, loan applications, bank statements, school records, etc.

Papers from businesses or commercial enterprises will not be accepted.

To speed up the process, residents must remove all metal clips, fasteners, binders, folders and hard covers and place the papers loosely in a box. Hard covers – cardboard or plastic covers on items such as ledger books, marble composition books and hard-cover books will not be accepted. Residents may rip away pages from these hard cover books for shredding and throw the covers in their household trash.

One of the best ways to minimize the risk of identity theft, one of the fastest growing crimes in the nation, is to take the step of shredding documents before disposing of them. This prevents thieves from stealing and using your unique identifying information such as your name, address, phone number, credit card number or social security number.

To help combat identity theft, Westchester County government put a Mobile Shredder into service several years ago. Unlike a home shredder that can only handle a limited number of sheets of paper at a time, this powerful piece of equipment pulverizes entire boxes of files at a time!  Since it was first put into service, thousands of residents have brought their confidential papers to be shredded and hundreds of tons of paper have been recycled.

The Mobile Shredder will be in Hastings-on-Hudson on February 2nd from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
134 Southside Avenue (Zinsser Parking Lot)

I encourage you to protect yourself from being an identity theft victim and take advantage of this opportunity to safely dispose of old documents and files you no longer need or use.

The Mobile Shredder is a free service. The county offers it not only to Westchester residents but to local municipalities and Westchester’s public schools that once had to pay private shredding companies to dispose of their confidential files safely.  This is yet another example that demonstrates the county’s commitment to developing strategies to share services with local municipalities in order to reduce costs and save taxpayer dollars.

Sincerely,
