Camden County submitted the following news release:

To help in the fight against identity theft, the Camden County freeholder board is sponsoring a free shredding day for Camden County residents wanting to destroy documents containing personal information.

On Saturday, May 5 from 8:30 a.m. to noon, industrial size shredder trucks will be in the parking lot of Camden County College on Peter Cheeseman Road in Gloucester Township to destroy private documents while residents watch. 

“This is a great opportunity to shred the personal documents that we all save rather than throw in the trash and run the risk of identity theft,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr.  “Camden County employees have volunteered their time to be on hand to assist residents with the paperwork they have brought to shred.”

No businesses please, and a limit of 175 pounds of paper per household is requested.

The next Document Shredding day will be held Nov. 3 at the Woodcrest PATCO station parking lot in Cherry Hill.
