So, mark your calendars for Saturday, May 18th, because the Township of West Windsor is proudly hosting its much-anticipated paper shred event and a concurrent food drive.

Let's dive into the shredding aspect first, shall we? In today's world, protecting ourselves from identity theft is more crucial than ever, and let's be honest, simply tossing sensitive documents into the regular recycling bin just doesn't cut it. This event provides a top-notch, secure method for disposing of those papers you've been meaning to get rid of. You're welcome to bring up to five banker's boxes or paper bags full of old documents, and here’s the best part: they'll be professionally shredded right there on site, giving you instant peace of mind. Just a friendly reminder, though: please make sure to remove any binders or hardcover books beforehand, as these items can't be processed by the shredders.

But the positive impact of your visit doesn't stop with just shredding! As you make your way through the super convenient drive-through setup, you’ll also have a wonderful chance to contribute to our local food pantry. They are always, always in need of non-perishable food items to support families right here in West Windsor who might be facing a bit of a tough time. So, if you're able to, please consider bringing along a few canned goods, some pasta, rice, or other shelf-stable items.
