Cranford Calendar
Union County’s 2023 Paper Shredding Events will continue in June. There are two shredding events that will be held during the month. The first event will take place on Wednesday, June 7th at the Clark Public Works Yard, which is located behind the police station at 315 Westfield Avenue in Clark (please use Wilson Road for access to the event). The second event will take place on Saturday, June 10th. This event will take place at Union College, which is located at 1033 Springfield Avenue in Cranford. The event will be held in parking lots 5A and 5B. Both events will run from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, unless the shredding trucks fill to capacity first. These events are drive-up only.
Can you lend a helping hand? Join us at the next Drive-Thru Food Collection Saturday, June 10th, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the parking lot of Cranford United Methodist Church.
