Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. and Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar are hosting a paper shredding and household goods collection event in Woodhaven on Sunday.
The event, which will be held on Sunday, Sept. 29, at the Forest Park Bandshell Parking Lot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is designed to assist residents in responsibly decluttering their homes while also providing an opportunity to donate specific items for veterans in need.
Residents will have the opportunity to securely shred old documents, with a limit of three copy boxes per person. However, certain items—such as cardboard, newspapers, file folders, and any materials containing metal or plastic—cannot be accepted for shredding.
Addabbo underscored the importance of securely shredding documents containing sensitive information.
“It’s crucial to ensure that documents containing sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers and account details, are properly shredded and recycled,” Addabbo said.
The event will also feature a donation drive hosted by the United Veterans War Council, where attendees can contribute items to support veterans in need. Accepted donations include clothing, children’s toys, shoes, household goods, books, and small furniture items.
“This event also provides a wonderful chance to aid our veterans. Clear out your home of excess items and donate gently used clothing and furniture to those who have served our country,” Addabbo stated.
For more information about this event, contact Addabbo’s office at 718-738-1111.
