The next paper shredding event will take place on Friday, May 15th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Hillside Municipal Pool Parking lot, located at 1200 Central Avenue in Hillside. The event will end before 1:00 p.m. should trucks reach capacity. Union County’s free paper shredding events take place each year from March through October, bringing mobile paper shredding trucks to various locations throughout the County. Any Union County resident, regardless of their hometown, can take their personal documents to be shredded at any of these events and have them shredded onsite.
The shredding events are intended for personal and sensitive documents only. Residents can recycle magazines, junk mail, and other papers through their municipal recycling program. Please remove all bindings, large plastic or metal clips, and other paraphernalia prior to the event (staples are allowed). Pre-shredded, damp, or wet paper will not be accepted.
All Union County recycling events are contact-free and drive-up only. Residents must remain in their cars while staff unloads materials from their trunk.
