Town Reschedules Paper Shredding Event with Jawonio for February 25th

(New City, NY) - Due to the impending snow fall for this evening into tomorrow morning, the Town of Clarkstown has postponed the Paper Shredding event with Jawonio until Saturday, February 25th to be held at the same location and time.

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.

Clarkstown residents should enter Jawonio from Little Tor Road and follow signs through the parking lot to enter the building from the side door.  For more information residents can call the Supervisor’s office at 639-2050 or email a.gromack@clarkstown.org.

Please feel free to contact 639-2050 or a.gromack@clarkstown.org for more information.
