Shredding Services Shredding Guidelines Deer Park Public Library is providing shredding services to its patrons free of charge. A shredding container is installed in the hallway next to the Fax and Copy machines.  Guidelines to patrons: Patrons should limit their shredding to 500 sheets of paper per week. Only personal sensitive documents (bank statements, tax materials, bills, etc.) are to be deposited. Folders, magazines, books, newspapers, junk mail, generic print materials and any other items may not be inserted in the container. In case the shredding container is temporarily full, documents for shredding may not be left in any other place in the library. This service is only for personal use by the patrons of Deer Park Public Library. Businesses may not use this service. Patrons can contact Adult Reference Department with any questions in regards to this service: (631) 586-3000.   Document Security Information Shredding receptacles and document destruction services are provided by the vendor Shred-it (www.shredit.com).

Shred-it is certified by NAID AAA and meets or exceeds the requirements established by the National Association for Information Destruction.
