Pasadena residents can safely dispose of electronic waste and have personal and business documents shredded at the City’s free e-waste event from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Saturday, April 13, 2024.

The event will be held in Parking Lot I outside the Rose Bowl Stadium near Brookside Park, 360 North Arroyo Blvd. To maintain safety, only cars may enter – no walk-ups.
E-waste items include computers, keyboards, printers, monitors, laptops, docking stations, scanners, shredders, fax machines, computer mice, telephones, televisions, flat screens, VCRs, DVD players, PDAs, cassette players, tape drives, and stereos. Household batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, and LED light bulbs are also accepted. These items should never be disposed of in your trash or recycling containers.
Paper shredding
Public Works is also helping residents prevent identity theft by providing free paper shredding during the event. The public can bring a maximum of three (3) legal-size boxes for shredding. Sensitive documents such as receipts, checks, pre-approved credit applications, credit card statements, outdated tax returns, pre-printed envelopes, return address labels, and business cards are items that can be shredded.
Event participants will be required to show proof of Pasadena residency and the duration of the event is subject to truck capacity.
