Milford Offers Free Shredding For Residents

MILFORD, MA — Come get shredded in Milford next weekend.

The town will convene a free document-shredding event this month, allowing residents to safely dispose of sensitive items — everything from old tax statements to business-related items.

Shred-it, the company that will do the shredding for the town, recommends residents use the event to destroy common home documents like expired passports, bank and credit card statements and utility documents. Business records like customer lists, medical records and business plans can also be shredded — but the event is only for Milford residents, not local businesses.

There are a few things Shred-it won't accept: any electrical devices, hard drives, hanging folders, cardboard tubes office supplies, batteries or any other non-paper objects.

The shredding event will take place Sept. 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Milford Transfer Station, 95 Cedar St. Any local residents or business owner with questions can call the Milford Board of Health at (508) 634-2315.
