May 14 is Mendham’s Paper Shredding/Electronics Recycling Day

Since spring cleaning is on the mind of many Mendham residents, next weekend’s Community Shred and Electronics Recycling Day comes at a perfect time.  Saturday, May 14, all Mendham Borough and Mendham Township residents are invited to bring their personal paperwork or electronics to this event for proper disposal.  Both events will take place at the Public Works Facility located at 37 Ironia Road from 9am to 1pm.

An on-site paper shredder will safely discard old files, keeping sensitive papers free from identity theft.  Suggested items include bank statements, old tax forms, receipts, medical forms, insurance information and other personal data.  Staples and paper clips do not need to be removed, making it even easier to dispose of outdated papers.  Additionally, all shredded paper will be recycled.

The Electronics Recycling event will be accepting “almost everything with a plug.”  These include desktop and laptop computers (hard drives will be erased by: Advanced Recovery), small electronics, copiers, hardware, printers, monitors, small household appliances, tape recorders, radios, typewriters, fax machines and televisions.  The event will not include larger items such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves or air conditioners.

Both events are sponsored by the Mendham Borough and Mendham Township Environmental Commissions.  With an eye toward preserving the environment, Mendham is dedicated to keeping the community eco-friendly.  If living in this kind of town appeals to you, contact our Mendham office at 8 East Main Street to learn more about Mendham real estate.
