Oxford PTO Shred Day, Clothing Drive April 18

The Oxford Parent Teacher Organization will hold a Shred It Day fundraiser at Oxford Center School from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 18.

A truck from Secure Eco Shred will be at the school and will shred all documents on site at 462 Oxford Road (Route 67).

Oxford PTO encourages people to protect themselves and their families against identity theft by attending the event. People can destroy unwanted junk mail, old family papers, documents and confidential home/office papers safely and easily at the event. It is also a good way for people to recycle, PTO members say. People who cannot attend the event can still participate.

Shredding prices start at $10.

For more information on the event, contact Lisa Suttile at [email protected] or call her at (203) 217‑0500.
