The Westchester County Mobile Shredder will be in Peekskill between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., Saturday, at City Hall. The shredder provides a free service for Westchester County residents, according to the county.
"Shredding personal documents serves a double purpose -- to recycle paper as well as protect sensitive information against identity theft -- the fastest growing crime in the nation," according to Westchester County representatives. "Residents can bring up to 4 file-size (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential papers per household. Please remove all large binder clips and covers. Papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected, as will any junk mail or newspapers."
Service at Mobile Shredder events is on a first-come, first-served basis and in extreme weather, events could be cancelled.
On the day of an event, residents can call the county's Recycling HelpLine at (914) 813-5425 to check on a cancellation or early closure. For more information, residents are asked to visit the county's Mobile Shredder webpage.
