Roseland Sets Free Shredding Day for October 10

A shredding truck will be stationed at 19 Harrison Ave., near the borough’s pickleball and tennis courts. Residents can bring paper materials they no longer need for secure destruction and recycling. The borough notes that staples and paper clips may remain in documents, helping residents avoid the extra step of removing small fasteners before arriving.

The program also accepts binders and books for shredding, according to the borough’s event information. All shredded paper will be recycled, offering residents an organized way to clear household records while supporting a recycling effort.

Shredding days can be especially useful for disposing of old financial papers, outdated household records and other documents that contain personal information. Residents should review their materials in advance and separate any papers they intend to retain, as items brought to the truck will be destroyed.

The October session is the second 2026 shredding date listed by the borough, following a May event. Residents planning to use the service should note the 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. time window and the Harrison Avenue location. The borough encourages residents to use the program as a free local resource for responsible paper disposal.
