Get It Shredded In Bloomfield: Town To Hold Free Event For Residents

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Township of Bloomfield will hold a free shredding event for residents on Saturday, May 14 at the Pulaski Park parking lot.

Pulaski Park is located at 24 Mount Vernon Avenue. The event will take place between 9 a.m. and noon.

According to a town news release:

“Shredding events are only open to Bloomfield residents that provide proof of residency, and the event is not for commercial purposes or industrial facilities. If you have any questions or need additional information about the event, call (973) 259-3162.”

In past years, more than14 tons of paper have been shredded during shred events in Bloomfield, officials said.

“One of the main functions of government is to provide essential services that protect residents and their families,” Mayor Michael Venezia said. “These shredding events are another subtle example of the ways in which Bloomfield is going the extra mile to achieve this goal.”

“I highly encourage residents to take advantage of this great opportunity to dispose of their confidential documents in a safe and secure manner,” Venezia said.
