Protect the security of your confidential information by shredding your personal documents. The City and EDCO Disposal are sponsoring a free shredding event for La Mirada residents on Saturday, May 7 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Community Gymnasium.

Certified shredding trucks will be shredding all items onsite. Quantities are limited to three bankers boxes (10”x12”x15”) per household.

TVs, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, VCRs, DVD players, and other unwanted electronics will also be collected. No household hazardous waste material will be accepted.

Free mulch will also be available while supplies last. This is a self-serve, self-loading service, so bring your own cans/bags, and shovel. A limit of 3 cans/bags per vehicle will be enforced. If you plan to haul your mulch in an open truck or trailer, remember to bring a tarp to cover the material.

The Community Gymnasium is located at 15105 Alicante Road. Residents are asked to enter off of Alicante Road. This event is for La Mirada residents only and proof of residency (i.e. Driver’s License or utility bill) is required.
