City of Cambridge Hosting Two Document Shredding Day Events In September

The City of Cambridge Consumers’ Council will be helping residents safely dispose of unwanted records at two free document shredding events in September. The events will be held on Saturday, September 13, from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., and Monday, September 29, from 2:30 p.m.– 5:30 p.m., in front of the Cambridge Senior Center, 806 Massachusetts Avenue.

These events, for Cambridge residents only, will be held rain or shine. They will be the final shredding events of the year.

Reserved parking is generally available on Bigelow Street adjacent to Cambridge City Hall, which is across from the Senior Center. Any meter that has a Reserved Parking sign can be used temporarily for this event.

Documents will be destroyed on the spot in a highly advanced technical mobile shredding truck and sent for recycling. Please note that this is a free event based on first-come, first served, or until the truck is full to capacity. There is a limit of five paper size boxes per household or equivalent.

The Cambridge Consumers’ Council works in cooperation with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. Information on consumer rights and safety will also be available at this event.
