EAST WINDSOR, NJ — A township-wide Document Shredding and Recycling Event is scheduled for Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the East Windsor Township Senior Center, 40 Lanning Boulevard.

The event, open to East Windsor residents only, will proceed rain or shine. Residents are asked to remain in their vehicles and have a driver's license ready as proof of residency.

Free on-site document shredding will be available while the truck has capacity, with a limit of 10 boxes per household. Commercial entities are not permitted to participate.

Electronics recycling will also be available, accepting televisions, computers and accessories, monitors, fax machines, VCRs, cable boxes and radios. Residents may additionally drop off fluorescent bulbs, household batteries, printer cartridges and cell phones.

RISE will have trucks on-site to collect clothing, shoes, blankets, housewares such as plates and mugs, working appliances and household electronics. Clothing should be brought in plastic bags.

"This is a great opportunity for East Windsor residents to dispose of old and confidential documents in a secure manner," Mayor Janice Mironov said. "Document shredding provides a non-recoverable tool for providing confidentiality and protecting against identity theft."
