Greenwich’s annual paper shredding event is set for Saturday, Oct 5, 2024 in the Island Beach parking lot.
Paper Shredding has several positive outcomes. Sensitive and personal documents will be properly destroyed and the shreds will be recycled, thus saving trees and aiding in climate control.
Shred your sensitive documents on October 5 between 9:30am and 12:00 noon.
