The city's eco-friendly event for shredding paper and recycling electronics, originally set for Saturday, has been pushed back to April 12. Plan to drop off your items from 8 a.m. to noon, and remember—the venue is the southeast corner of Mitchell Street and Cooper Street, the UTA parking lot, according to the City of Arlington news release.
Don't forget to show proof of your Arlingtonhood; it’s required to partake in this service. And if you're bringing paper, keep it to two boxes per whip. Just be mindful, it's a 'till-full-stop' deal with the paper shredding truck—once it hits capacity, that's all she wrote. Want to offload some electronics? They're accepting various gadgets, from flat-screen TVs and laptops to small corded appliances and audio gear. However, it's a no-go for your bulky white goods. Anything with Freon – we're talking fridges and air conditioners – you'll need to call Republic Services at (817) 317-2000.
For those unsure about item eligibility, detailed lists are available. TVs, whether flat screens or bulky CRTs, are good to go, and the same goes for a laundry list of other electronic paraphernalia—stereo equipment, learning consoles, cameras, and even the ubiquitous cellphones and tablets. As we’ve mentioned, oversized appliances won't make the cut, so tackle those through other means. You've got options for disposal—just remember to reach out to Republic Services for the big stuff.
