CANASTOTA, N.Y. –The Madison County Department of Solid Waste is once again partnering with Proshred to provide a free residential document shredding event at the Buyea Road Residential Station this Spring. The Dept. of Solid Waste invites residents to attend the event:
Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 8-11 a.m. or until the truck is full, whichever comes first.
Buyea Road Residential Station, 6666 Buyea Road, Canastota.
Residents do not need to register for this event and can bring a maximum of four filing boxes of personal and confidential documents to be shredded. Material should be loose in boxes or paper bags and easily accessible in the back of the vehicle. Residents must stay in their vehicle at all times. Empty boxes will be returned to the vehicle; please do not put items in plastic bags.
Medical documents, bank information, tax records and other paperwork containing account numbers or private details are ideal for drop off. Do not bring magazines, junk mail, phone books or photographs. Business waste will not be accepted.
“Many of our residents use our shred events as a safe and secure way to get rid of their confidential documents. We are excited to be hosting another event this spring,” Madison County Recycling Coordinator Kristin Welch said in a news release from the county.
“The material collected is shredded onsite and will be recycled into other paper products. Residents will be able to protect their personal information and, at the same time, help us rethink waste here in Madison County.”
