Ridgewood NJ, Shred Day in Ridgewood will take place on Saturday, April 13, at the Graydon Pool Parking Lot from 9:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M., Rain or Shine. Residents will be able to watch their documents on camera as they are securely shredded by Information Destruction Systems, which will then be recycled by Atlantic Coast Fibers. Limit of five 5 file-size boxes per vehicle. Free to all Ridgewood residents and businesses only. Place items for shredding in a paper bag or a cardboard box. No plastic bags will be allowed.
I was there and did not see a camera. Everyone’s papers were dumped together into a large bin and those who had handed them over were waved on to exit the parking lot. It was left to our imagination that the papers were going to be shredded.
No signs on the site indicating that the service was for Ridgewood residents only. No proof of residency was requested.
