The City of La Mesa and EDCO are sponsoring a FREE shredding event. A certified shredding truck will be present during the event, and all items will be shredded ON-SITE! The event is limited to two banker boxes (10” x 12 ” x 15”) per household.
Unwanted electronics (e-waste), including TVs, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, VCRs, etc., will also be collected. However, no household hazardous waste (HHW) material will be accepted.
Goodwill will also be onsite to accept donated reusable items. Please click here for a list of items that Goodwill will not accept.
Free mulch will also be available for City of La Mesa residents (while supplies last). This is a self-serve, self-loading, and self-haul service, so please bring your own cans/bags, gloves, and shovel. If you plan to haul your mulch in an open truck or trailer, please remember to bring a tarp to cover your material.
