The City of New Bedford, The Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District, and Downtown New Bedford, Inc., will co-sponsor a paper shredding event on Saturday, May 12, 2012 from 9:00am through 12:00 noon. The event will take place in the parking lot located across from New Bedford City Hall (at the corner of William and N. Sixth Streets). Residents and New Bedford area businesses are encouraged to bring their outdated paper items including (bank statements, insurance forms, medical forms, retired tax forms, personal files, receipts, etc.) to be shredded on site by Doc Shredding Corp.
Paper clips and staples do not need to be removed, but the paper items must not be in binders or folders. A fee of $5 per box will be charged to help cover the cost of the operation and each box should not be more than 40 lbs. Participants are welcome to watch the destruction of up to five of their boxes of paper. For more than 5 boxes, shredding may be done offsite.
