Westchester County Government along with the Village of Briarcliff Manor want to protect you against identity theft and help recycle paper at the same time.

This Saturday, December 10^th from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., you can bring unwanted documents to the parking lot at the Village Hall (1111 Pleasantville Rd.) to be shredded on the spot with the county’s Mobile Shredder.

Residents of Westchester County can bring up to 4 file-size (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential personal papers per household.  Please remove all large binder clips and covers.  Papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises will not be accepted. County staff will inspect all paper to be shredded and will reject any paper identified as commercial or institutional.  Businesses should contract with a Paper Shredding Company for this service.

Service at the events works on a first-come-first-served basis. Be advised that on occasion, at a highly attended event, the Mobile Shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity for paper shredding before closing time. Although infrequent, residents should be aware of this and open minded of the possibility of an early closure. Also, in extreme weather, when working conditions are deemed unsafe, events may be cancelled or terminated early.  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.
