West Donegal Township is, once again, partnering with East Donegal Township and Mount Joy Township to host a shredding event on Saturday, September 13th, from 8 am to 12:00 noon at East Donegal Township, 190 Rock Point Road, Marietta, PA. 

This event is free of charge to all residents living in West Donegal, Mount Joy, and East Donegal Townships. Residents are allowed to bring up to four boxes or bags of paper per property to be shredded. This is a great opportunity for the community to shred sensitive documents. 

We are asking those who participate in this event for donations of canned goods, boxed items, or gift cards to Giant or Weis (monetary donations also accepted). Please be generous as these donations will be given to the local food banks in our communities. Your help is deeply appreciated by those in need in our community!

Disposal of an oversized item requires a red tag which are $5 each and can only be purchased at the township office, Mon-Fri from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm each day.
