Come and recycle your obsolete electronics.
By Katlyn Ong
Pasadena residents can safely dispose of electronics at the City’s popular free e-waste event. The event will be held in Parking Lot I outside the Rose Bowl Stadium near Brookside Park. The duration of the event is subject to truck capacity.
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.
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 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 Sensitive documents such as receipts, checks, pre-approved credit applications, credit card statements, outdated tax returns, pre-printed envelopes, return address labels, and business cards are items that can be shredded. Remove documents from ring binders and bulldog/binder clips.
This event is open to Pasadena residents and is sponsored by the City’s Department of Public Works. For more information, call (626) 744-7311 or email recycle@cityofpasadena.net.
