DPW Recycling Doubleheader from 9 to noon on Saturday, October 5

Submitted by Gretchen Carey, Bedford DPW

The DPW has scheduled a free recycling event for paper shredding and for the disposal of electronic equipment from 9 am to noon on Saturday, October 5.

PAPER SHREDDING

Shred all of your outdated personal and confidential documents while you watch.  This is a proven means to help prevent identity theft and ensure your privacy. A Doc Shredding mobile shredding truck will be at the DPW to provide a community shredding event free of charge to Bedford residents. There will be a 4 box limit per customer.

All paper shredded from the event will be recycled. Staples, paper clips and small binder clips can be mixed in with paper. Metal hanging folders and binders/notebooks should be removed.

For more information, please call 781-275-7605.
