Those with more papers than patience to shred them can bring the documents to a county-run site to be disposed of securely at no charge.

Residents (not businesses) can use the Ocean County Residential Document Shredding Program, which has two area dates coming up: Sept. 24 at the Barnegat Township Recycling Center Lot, 5 Lippencott Ave., and Oct. 1 at the Ship Bottom Municipal Boat Ramp, West 10th Street and Shore Avenue.
