 White Plains, NY - Westchester County’s Mobile Shredder will be available in November to help protect residents from identity theft and to recycle paper.
Since November last year, the county has provided this free roving public service to residents all over the county and has shredded more than 100 tons of personal papers.
The Mobile Shredder will be available at the following times and locations:
Friday, Nov. 2 Rye Playland 12 noon – 3 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 3 Rye Playland 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 4 Village of Tuckahoe Depot Square 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 17 Village of Pleasantville Memorial Plaza 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 1 Saxon Woods Park, White Plains 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
This free public service is intended for residents to shred their personal documents. Papers from businesses or commercial enterprises will not be accepted.
To speed up shredding and reduce waiting time, residents must remove all metal clips, fasteners, binders, folders and hard covers and place 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 – are not acceptable.
Residents may rip away pages from these hard cover books for shredding and throw the covers in their household trash. The events will be held rain or shine.
