Mobile Shredder is coming to Dobbs Ferry – Thursday, 5/26

• Bookmarks: 46


May 12, 2022

Mobile Shredder is coming to the Dobbs Ferry Waterfront, 11 Station Plaza
Thursday, May 26 from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Residents can bring up to 4 file-size (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential papers per household for shredding.  Please remove all large binder clips and covers.  Papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected, as will any junk mail or newspapers.
First come, first served
Service at the events works on a first-come-first-served basis, as the Mobile Shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity before closing time. In extreme weather, events may be cancelled or terminated early.
Please call the county’s Recycling Helpline at (914) 813-5425 to check on a cancellation or early closure.
Important information
It is important to be aware of what you place the paper to be shredded – no matches, lighters or anything combustible. Staff at the events will be checking the material prior to being shredded.
Kinds of documents to shred
Remember, it’s best to shred documents you’re no longer using, that contain personal identifying information such as name, address, phone number, credit card number or social security number. Such documents should be shredded before they are thrown out for recycling. Some examples are:
  • expired credit card statements and receipts
  • old tax returns or any other personal documents containing you name, address or other identifying information.
  • pre-approved credit card applications
  • licenses
As this service is gaining in popularity, residents should be prepared to wait as lines are sometimes long. However, the wait doesn’t have to be that long. Come prepared. This means you’ve removed all metal clips, fasteners, binders, folders and hard covers and placed the papers loosely in a box. Hard covers – cardboard or plastic covers on items such as ledger books, marble composition books and hard-cover books – cannot be shredded and will be turned away. Residents must rip pages out from hard cover books for shredding and throw the covers in their regular household trash. Up to four boxes of papers are allowed for shredding.
For more information about identity theft, call the Dept. of Consumer Protection (914) 995-2155. For questions about recycling, call (914) 813-5425, the Recycling Helpline.

Mobile Shredder Llega a Paseo marítimo de Dobbs Ferry, 11 Station Plaza
Jueves 26 de mayo de 9:00 a 12:00
Los residentes pueden traer hasta 4 cajas de documentos confidenciales del tamaño de un archivo (10”x12”x15”) por hogar para triturarlas. Retire todos los clips y cubiertas de carpetas grandes. Los documentos de empresas, instituciones o empresas comerciales no son aceptables y serán rechazados, al igual que cualquier correo no deseado o periódicos.
Primero llegado, primero servido
El servicio en los eventos funciona por orden de llegada, ya que el Mobile Shredder puede alcanzar su capacidad máxima antes de la hora de cierre. En condiciones climáticas extremas, los eventos pueden cancelarse o terminarse antes de tiempo.
Por favor llame a la línea de Ayuda de Reciclaje del condado al (914) 813-5425 para verificar una cancelación o cierre anticipado.
Información importante
Es importante ser consciente de dónde coloca el papel para triturar: no cerillos, encendedores ni nada combustible. El personal de los eventos estará revisando el material antes de ser triturado.
Tipos de documentos para triturar
Recuerde, es mejor triturar los documentos que ya no usa y que contienen información de identificación personal, como nombre, dirección, número de teléfono, número de tarjeta de crédito o número de seguro social. Dichos documentos deben triturarse antes de desecharlos para su reciclaje. Algunos ejemplos son:
  • resúmenes de tarjetas de crédito y recibos vencidos
  • declaraciones de impuestos antiguas o cualquier otro documento personal que contenga su nombre, dirección o otra información de identificación.
  • solicitudes de tarjetas de crédito preaprobadas
  • licencias
A medida que este servicio gana popularidad, los residentes deben estar preparados para esperar, ya que las filas a veces son largas. Sin embargo, la espera no tiene por qué ser tan larga. Ven preparado. Esto significa que ha quitado todos los clips de metal, sujetadores, carpetas, carpetas y tapas duras y ha colocado los papeles sueltos en una caja. Las cubiertas duras (cubiertas de cartón o plástico en artículos como libros de contabilidad, libros de composición de mármol y libros de tapa dura) no se pueden triturar y se rechazarán. Los residentes deben arrancar las páginas de los libros de tapa dura para triturarlas y arrojar las tapas a la basura doméstica normal. Se permiten hasta cuatro cajas de papeles para triturar.
Para obtener más información sobre el robo de identidad, llame al Departamento de Protección al Consumidor (914) 995-2155. Si tiene preguntas sobre el reciclaje, llame al (914) 813-5425, la Línea de Ayuda de Reciclaje.
