The City of St. Augustine will hold its annual free community recycling event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at the Solid Waste Facility, 601 Riberia St.
City residents can bring documents for on-site shredding, outdated or broken electronics, and used cooking oil at no charge. Document shredding is limited to five boxes per resident, and staff will shred the materials on-site so residents can watch the process.
Accepted electronics include laptops, complete PC towers, hard drives, memory chips, phone chargers, cell phones, batteries, cameras, tablets, stereos, printers, scanners, copiers, VCR/DVD players and Christmas lights.
The event will not accept TVs, hazardous waste such as paint and pesticides, used tires, or motor oil.
Residents do not need to wait for the annual event for all recycling needs. The city accepts recyclable materials daily during regular business hours; e-waste may be taken to the Solid Waste Facility, while used cooking oil can be dropped off at the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 501 Riberia St. The city’s Solid Waste and Sanitation Division can be reached at [email protected] or 904-825-1049.
