Residents can bring three small boxes or the equivalent of two Town recycling bins to be shredded at Jawonio, 260 North Little Tor Road, New City.   Proof of residency is required.  Residents are permitted to watch documents being shredded or wait in the waiting area.  Receipts will be provided. 

“This is a wonderful opportunity to offer residents a great and convenient way to get rid of all those piles of papers lying around,” said Supervisor Gromack.  “The Town is proud to partner with Jawonio for this special event and help support people with disabilities.” 

The shredder Jawonio has at its facility is a commercial shredder that can handle multiple boxes per hour.  Two to three employees from Jawonio are trained to use it.  Jawonio is a certified provider of this service through the NYS Industries for the Disabled and has a variety of contracts throughout the community.
