“Monmouth County has partnered with the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties to host a food drive for the entire month of April,” said Freeholder John P. Curley. “If you are planning to attend the April 24 paper shredding event in Manasquan, please consider bringing a non-perishable food donation.”

County residents may bring up to 100 lbs. to be shredded. The shredding event will stop once the shredding truck is full. All papers will be shredded on location in the mobile truck. Documents should be free of large binder clips; staples and paper clips may be left on documents. 

This is a project of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and 2016 partner municipalities of Belmar, Colts Neck, Freehold Township, Howell, Keyport, Long Branch, Manasquan, Marlboro, Middletown, Millstone, Neptune and Spring Lake Heights.
