[WardFive] HHW/E-cycling/Shredding Event

This Week: DPW Offers Options to Dispose of HHW/E-cycling/Personal Documents for Shredding

 

The Department of Public Works (DPW) will accept District residents' household hazardous waste and e-cycling on Thursday, April 4 from 1 pm—5 pm, in addition to our regular Saturday service from 8 am—3 pm at the Fort Totten Transfer Station.*

 

DPW will also provide document shredding services on Saturday, April 6 from 8 am—3 pm for up to five boxes (or equivalent container) of documents, such as bank statements, credit cards, and pay stubs for shredding from each resident. The boxes should be no larger than 16.5" x 12.5" x 8.5" or the approximate size of a box of copy paper. Document shredding is available the first Saturday of the month for paper documents of a sensitive nature. Please place newspapers, magazines and other items that are not confidential in your recycling bins.

 

District residents may bring HHW items such as pesticides, batteries and cleaning fluids to Fort Totten, along with e-cycling items such as computers, televisions and other unwanted electronic equipment.
