Shredding and recycling will be taking place in Burlington County Sept. 20

Burlington County Freeholder Director Bruce Garganio announced today that residents will have the opportunity to bring their confidential documents and used electronics for shredding and recycling on Saturday, Sept. 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will be held at the Resource Recovery Complex, 22000 Columbus Road in Mansfield, due to single-stream construction.

“We are reminding residents that the event will be temporarily moved to the Resource Recovery Complex while construction continues over at OTC involving our single-stream project,” said Freeholder Director Garganio. “The event will be user friendly like it always has been with plenty of volunteers on hand to accept recyclables.”
