Monmouth County is hosting a series of free mobile paper shredding events for residents in 2026, with the next one taking place in Keyport on April 25th. The events allow locals to safely dispose of up to 100 lbs of confidential documents by staying in their vehicles while the documents are shredded on-site.

Why it matters

Identity theft and financial fraud are growing concerns, so these shredding events provide an important service to the community by allowing residents to securely get rid of sensitive paperwork and protect their personal information.

The details

The Keyport paper shredding event will take place on Saturday, April 25th from 9am to 1pm (or until the trucks are full). Residents can bring up to 100 lbs (around 4 boxes or large trash bags) of documents with staples and paper clips, but should remove any large binder clips. Participants will need to stay in their vehicles, as no walk-ups or businesses are allowed.
