Concerned about identity theft? We have the answer: another chance to shred your personal documents. We have been pleased to offer paper shredding events since April 2012 and have shredded over 140 tons of documents containing sensitive information like financial statements, medical, tax and social security records.

In celebrating Earth Day, we encourage residents to keep paper out of the trash and help save a tree by ensuring old paper is shredded and ultimately recycled. We’ll be shredding at Island Beach parking lot on Saturday, April 18, from 9:30am to 12:00noon.
For just $4 per box, with a maximum of four boxes, we do ask that materials are sorted so that only important documents are shredded.
Donations of healthy, non-perishable food and toiletries will also be accepted and will be distributed by Neighbor to Neighbor
While fully supported by the town, the program is a joint initiative of the Greenwich Recycling Advisory Board and Greenwich Green & Clean and is organized entirely by volunteers. We are fortunate to have as sponsors The First Bank of Greenwich and Santaguida Sanitation.
