2014 Del Mar Recycles Drop Off Event

In an effort to facilitate
responsible disposal and recycling, Coast Waste Management and the City of Del
Mar will be hosting the second 2014 Del
Mar Recycles drop off event to provide City of Del Mar residents and
businesses with the opportunity to more easily dispose of common household
items in an environmentally safe manner. The event will offer on-site document
shredding and the safe collection of non-controlled medications, sharps,
compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL’s), household batteries and cell phones. Please
note, sharps and non-controlled medication drop off is limited to residents
only.



By properly disposing of items,
residents and businesses can help protect the environment by keeping those
items away from the landfill and water streams. Residents and businesses can
bring any of the approved items to the drop off location. Limits are per person
or business, per event.
