Letter to Editor: Mary Liz Mulligan on Mobile Shredder Day this Saturday, December 19, in Midland Avenue School Parking Lot


To the Editor:


Dec. 16, 2015:  This Saturday, the Westchester County mobile paper shredder will be in the Midland Avenue parking lot of The Bronxville School from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm or until filled to capacity, if earlier than 1:00 pm. This has been facilitated by the Bronxville Green Committee.

Shredding personal documents serves a double purpose: recycling paper as well as protecting sensitive information from identity theft, the fastest growing crime in the nation.

Westchester residents can bring up to four file-sized (10"x12"x15") boxes of confidential papers per household. Remove all large binder clips and covers. Papers from businesses, institutions, or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected, as will any junk mail or newspapers.

Service is on a first-come-first-served basis, as the mobile shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity before closing time.

It is important to be aware of what you place with the paper to be shredded--no matches, lighters, or anything combustible. Staff will be checking the material prior to its being shredded.

Residents are required to stay in their vehicles. Staff will attend to you. This is for your own safety. No walk-ups, please.

We thank The Bronxville School for sharing its lot for this worthwhile "green" event. The shredder's next visit will be in May.

See you there!

Mary Liz Mulligan, Chair
Bronxville Green Committee

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
