The Somerset County Board of Freeholders and the county’s Records Management Division will be sponsoring 11 “Operation Secure Shred” events throughout the county in 2014 for county residents

Residents from all 21 Somerset County municipalities are invited to have personal documents shredded at as many free, on-site mobile paper-shredding events as they wish to attend. Residents do not have to reside in a town hosting an event to participate

Additional shredding events will be held at various municipal locations as follows:

• Sept. 5 in Somerset at the Franklin Municipal Building - 475 DeMott Lane
• Sept. 12 at the Bridgewater Municipal Building - 100 Commons Way
• Oct. 3 at the Branchburg Municipal Building - 1077 U.S. Highway 202 North
• Oct. 10 in Basking Ridge at the Bernards Engineering Services Building - 277 S. Maple Ave
• Oct. 17 at the Green Brook Municipal Building - 111 Greenbrook Road
