Document Shredding

On-site document enhanced shredding is being provided by Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey with the financial support of Jay Hughes and John Hughes of Dover Country Properties. “Safely destroying old financial documents, bank statements and sensitive papers is an important guard against identity theft,” said DA Morrissey. An industrial-grade shredding truck will be on site on Saturday from 9AM-12PM.  Dover residents may bring up to 6 paper bags of personal/sensitive documents.
