Biannual Community Shredding Day
The Madison Rotary Club is inviting the public to its biannual Community Shredding Day, joined by Morris Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore collection truck. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, April 22, 2023, at Madison Municipal Parking Lot #1, at the corner of Prospect Street and Kings Road by the Madison Volunteer Ambulance Squad.
All are encouraged to honor Earth Day 2023 and take advantage of Morris Habitat for Humanity and Madison Rotary’s services to reclaim valuable space in their homes and offices at the same event, both by donating unneeded items and by safely destroying and recycling sensitive documents.
Madison Rotary has contracted a professional shredding service to provide secure and confidential destruction of sensitive documents on-site, after which the shredded papers will be recycled into other paper products. The cost is $8 per box or grocery bag. Larger containers will be accepted and priced accordingly. Cash and checks will be accepted. All proceeds from the shredding event will be used by the Madison Rotary, a 501(c)(3) charity, for service projects benefiting the community.
A truck from the Morris ReStore will gratefully accept area residents’ new or very gently used home building materials, lighting and plumbing fixtures, hardware items in original packaging, fine art and collectibles, and other home furnishings in excellent condition. ReStore’s inventory is 100% donated by businesses and individuals and sold to the general public at a fraction of the retail price at their 40,000 square foot home improvement outlet located at 274 South Salem Street, Randolph, NJ and its ecommerce web site: morrisrestore.org
Proceeds are used to build affordable homes in Morris County and surrounding areas. According to Jeannie Tsukamoto, former President of both Madison Rotary and Morris Habitat for Humanity, “donations to ReStore have built 33 homes in Morris County and have kept over 15,000 tons of reusable materials out of landfills since 2007.” Morris Habitat is a 501(c)3 organization and donations to the ReStore are tax-deductible. A receipt will be provided for ReStore donations.
