Westport will hold a public shred day on Saturday, May 7, from 9 a.m. to noon, at 180 Bayberry Lane (Westport/Weston Health District).
Residents may shred up to three boxes (12 inches by 18 inches), or five paper bags (bags recycle too), per household. Each car will be charged $5.
“This is an opportunity for Westporters to dispose of personal, confidential and sensitive papers, such as bank statements, cancelled check, credit card statements, tax papers, and medical records by watching their papers shredded on-site” said First Selectman Gordon Joseloff.

"Shredding personal papers helps insure protection against identity theft, in addition to spring cleaning file cabinets. Our environment also benefits since all material will be recycled.”
Proof of Westport residency is required. Volunteers from the Staples High School Service League of Boys will be on site to assist, where necessary.
