Truckee recycling electronics, shredding documents

Truckee’s 6th annual Electronic Waste Recycling event is June 22 from 9am-2pm in the back parking lot of Town Hall, 10183 Truckee Airport Road.

Residents are encouraged to drop off all their old electronic equipment for free recycling. Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, cell phones, radios, telephones and fax machines are common electronic products that must be kept out of household trash and recycled separately.

Electronics waste may be recycled at the Eastern Regional Landfill free of charge throughout the year. For details, call Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal at (530) 583.0148.

The Truckee Police Department will once again offer residents the opportunity to shred confidential paperwork onsite at the community recycle event.

Last year 9,000 pounds of paper was accepted through this event. Get there early, space is limited. The paper shred portion of this event is from 9-11am.
