Free Document Shredding will be available to East Windsor residents to dispose of unwanted and unneeded documents.   Paper shredding is on a first come first serve basis.  It will be accepted from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. or until truck is full.  Document shredding is limited to ten boxes per household until the shredding truck is full.  The service is for East Windsor residents only.  No commercial entities are permitted.  Mayor Mironov stated,  “This is a great opportunity for East Windsor residents to dispose of old or confidential documents in a secure manner.  Document shredding provides a non-recoverable tool for providing confidentiality and protecting against identity theft.”

Electronics Recycling is limited to only televisions, computers and accessories, monitors, fax machines, cell phones, VCR’s, cable boxes and telephones.  Residents will also be able to dispose of fluorescent bulbs and household batteries.

East Windsor Township also is participating in the Trex’s Plastic Film Recycling Challenge.   The types of plastic film which can be dropped off for recycling are:  grocery bags, bread bags, bubble wrap, dry cleaning bags, newspaper sleeves, ice bags, plastic shipping envelopes, Ziploc and other reclosable food storage bags, cereal bags, case overwrap, salt bags, pallet wrap ands stretch film, wood pellet bags and produce bags.  For every 500 pounds collected over six months, Trex donates a bench to the community.

RISE will have trucks on-site to collect clothing, shoes, blankets, housewares (plates, mugs and related items), working appliances, household electronics and usable furniture.  Clothing should be brought in plastic bags.

For efficiency, residents must remain in their vehicles at all times, and have their driver’s license to display as proof of residency.

Mayor Mironov stated,  “We are committed to recycling in East Windsor Township and thereby reducing the Township’s solid waste costs, while helping to preserve a greener environment.  This is an environmentally positive and convenient opportunity for residents to shred documents and recycle certain items at no cost, while helping the Township reduce landfill costs and preserve the environment.”
