WTAJ and Burgmeier Shredding have partnered to offer the residents of Central PA with FREE Residential Shredding Events throughout the year. With your support, we shredded more than 41,500 pounds of paper in 2012, and we're looking forward to another successful year of shredding again.

Not only do our events help protect your personal information, but Burgmeier Shredding takes all of the shredded paper and recycles it, helping to protect our environment by saving trees.

In addition to shredding your personal documents we will also be adding eWaste recycling as well. Please see our Shredding and eWaste Recycling event schedule to your right.
