Town sets Paper Shredding for Earth Day The Town of Saugus, in conjunction with North Shore Bank, will hold a Paper Shredding Event tomorrow (Saturday, April 20), in celebration of Earth Day. During this free event, Saugus residents will have the opportunity to properly dispose of sensitive documents, such as taxes, bank records, pay stubs, utility bills and hospital bills, in an eco-friendly manner. Files will be shredded on-site in a mobile paper shredder and then recycled. In Massachusetts, hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ dollars are spent each year burning paper and recyclables that could have been recycled. Once again, the Town is honoring Earth Day by encouraging residents to shred and recycle those personal documents. The Paper Shredding Event on April 20 is from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Department of Public Works at 515 Main St. Residents are encouraged to call Solid Waste/Recycling Coordinator Lorna Cerbone at 781-231-4036 with any questions.

At the CHaRM center, the Town will accept the same recycling items that can be placed outside for curbside collection each week, such as paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and glass containers. Additional acceptable items include TVs and computers (up to three per year per address); bulky rigid plastic items, such as toys, laundry baskets, Rubbermaid trash barrels, fivegallon pails; car tires up to 22″ (for a fee of $3); books; and textiles, such as clothing, bedding, pocketbooks, belts and shoes. Plastic bags are not permitted. Residents are kindly asked to empty recyclables out of any plastic bags, and remove the bags from the site. Residents may call Lorna Cerbone at the Solid Waste and Recycling Department at 781231-4036 with questions or for more information.
