SAUGUS — Town Manager Scott Crabtree and the Department of Solid Waste/Recycling invite residents to participate in a document shredding event on Saturday, Sept. 13. Shredding unwanted sensitive and confidential documents can help to protect your personal information and to limit the chances of falling victim to identity theft.
The Shred-It event will take place behind the Saugus Department of Public Works at 515 Main St. and will run from 9 a.m. to noon. This event is for Saugus residents only.
During this free event, Saugus residents will be able to properly dispose of sensitive and confidential documents in an eco-friendly manner. Documents will be shredded on site and then recycled. As a reminder, most non-sensitive and confidential paper documents can be recycled curbside weekly on your pickup day.
Acceptable items for the Saugus Shred-It event include:
- Paper
- Folders with brads
- Manila folders
- Paper clips and binder clips
- Notebooks
- Checkbooks
