Smithtown Hosts Bi-Annual Paper Shredding Event

The Town of Smithtown Department of Environment and Waterways, in partnership with the Municipal Services Facility and the Department of Public Safety, will host the second Paper Shredding Event of the year on Saturday, September 21st. The event will be held at Town Hall on Main Street in Smithtown from 9:00 AM through 3:00 PM.

“Twice a year residents can safely and securely dispose of unwanted documents while helping the environment. The process is seamlessly orchestrated by DEW, MSF, and Public Safety. Residents get in and out fast and can go back to enjoying their weekends.” – Ed Wehrheim, Town of Smithtown Supervisor

“I absolutely love being a part of this event. The public is so pleased and grateful that we are providing a much needed service to local families and our environment… This year we planned the first event in April. We hope to have a bigger turnout than last year’s Summer event.” – Councilman Thomas McCarthy
