Electronics Recycling, Document Shredding This Weekend

Kennesaw residents who need to get rid of unwanted documents or electronics can do so in an environmentally-friendly way during a free event at the city’s public works facility on Saturday.

The recycling event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the facility on Moon Station Road. Metal recycling will be done by Marietta Recycling Company, while A1 Shredding & Recycling handles the papers. Participants can bring anything from personal documents to steel, smart phones, disk drives, televisions, and radiators. A full list can be read in the flyer below.

Fees will be applied to recycle large projection/wooden console TVs ($25), regular CRT TVs ($20), and CRT computer monitors ($10). Items that cannot be recycled at this event include power equipment, tires, household trash, and non-electric equipment.

A limit of 10 boxes full of personal documents has been set for each event participant. There is no need to remove staples or paper clips.
