There will be a certified shredding truck during the event, and all items will be shredded ON-SITE! Limited to two banker boxes (10”x12”x15”) per household.

Unwanted electronics, such as TVs, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, and VCRs, will also be collected. However, no household hazardous waste (HHW) material will be accepted.
