MICKLETON — The East Greenwich Twp. Environmental Commission and Green Team are sponsoring an open shredding event on Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Public Works Garage located at 96 East Rattling Run Road, Mickleton.
Reduce clutter, clean out, and purge your personal records. Protect yourself from identity theft while being green. What to toss: bills once payment has been cleared your account; bank and credit card statements once they are reconciled. With online banking, these statements are available on the institution’s website. Investment statements if you can easily get a copy from your broker or advisor.
What to keep: tax returns and all documentation for seven years; all documentation for real estate purchases as well as documentation for improvements to the property for as long as you own the property.
Bring your bags and boxes of paper to be shredded. An experienced operator from Stericycle will move the disposal bins to a highly secure, mobile shredding unit where your confidential material will be destroyed as you watch. One hundred percent of the shredded paper is recycled. Only papers from residents will be accepted. No businesses.
Please, no plastic bags or metal including three-ring binders and binder clips. Staples and paper clips are acceptable. We will also accept electronics for recycling but no TVs larger than 60 inches.
