Riverdale Shredding Event

Torres, Dinowitz, and Dinowitz Shredding Event

By Robert Press

Congressman Ritchie Torres, Councilman Eric Dinowitz, and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz got together to have a Riverdale Community Shred Day on Johnson Avenue at West 235th Street in the Johnson Avenue/West 235th Shopping area. 

While Congressman Torres was in Washington, and both Dinowitz’s were at other events going on in their districts staff members held down the shredding truck. Assemblyman Dinowitz’s Chief of staff gave up her Sunday morning as did other staff members of the three elected officials to help the community safely dispose of documents that should be shredded so their private information does not get into the wrong hands. 

Randi Martos Chief of Staff for Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz supervises the filling of bins with documents that were no longer needed to be shredded.

Once a bin was filled with documents to be shredded it was moved into the street.

Locked in place the bin was then lifted into the shredding truck where the documents were cut into very little pieces that were unidentifiable.
