This spring State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) will be partnering with Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar (D-Woodhaven) to bring their bi-annual Paper Shredding and Household Goods Donation recycling event to Forest Park.
On Sunday, April 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents will be able to shred their personal, private documents with USA Shred and donate any unwanted household goods to the United War Veterans Council at the Forest Park Bandshell Parking Lot.
“These recycling events that we hold are some of our most popular events each year — and for good reason,” Addabbo said. “It gives our constituents the opportunity to do some serious spring cleaning and help the environment at the same time by safely and securely shredding their paper documents. They can also get rid of clutter in their houses by donating clothing and household items and give their unwanted goods a new home with a veteran.”

USA Shred help people safely and securely discard their papers at these events.
Items that will be accepted during this event are: paper (three boxes maximum of personal, business or medical files), clothing and shoes, small working appliances and kitchenware, toys and bikes, jewelry, small furniture, American flags, and eye glasses.
Items that CANNOT be accepted are: any electronics, cardboard, magazines, file folders, pre-shredded paper, air conditioners, paint, and tires.
“I am happy to once again partner with my colleague Senator Joe Addabbo for this fun-filled event serving our community in so many ways,” Rajkumar said. “As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I am proud to provide our veterans with valuable household items. That alone would make for an outstanding event, but we will also have paper shredding, which will both serve our environment and prevent identity theft. In fact, this event is like a Swiss Army knife of diverse solutions for Queens.”
“I would like to thank Assemblymember Rajkumar for her continued support on this great event, as well as our partners in USA Shred and the United War Veterans Council, the Parks Department, and 104 COP for their continued participation in helping to keep the traffic moving during these popular events,” Addabbo added.
