The City of Hagerstown’s Annual eCycles Day is Saturday, Nov. 2, for city residents.
The city has contracted with Waste Management Inc. to offer city residents a free and convenient opportunity to properly dispose of unwanted residential electronic devices and to securely shred unneeded personal documents.
The event will be held rain or shine at Fairgrounds Park, 351 N. Cleveland Ave., in the softball field parking lots from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until the trucks are full.
Acceptable items for electronics recycling include:
-

Document shredding will be secure and green. All documents will be transported directly from the event to the paper shredding facility in a secured truck.
At the shredding facility, documents will be shredded, baled and sent to a paper recycling facility where the ink will be removed, the paper will be turned into pulp and it will ultimately be used to create new paper or fiber products.
All participants will be asked to stay in their vehicles while workers remove their items.
Recyclables should be placed in the trunk (or rear area of SUVs) for safe removal.
Hagerstown eCycles Day is for City of Hagerstown residents only. Proof of residency will be required.
