Los Altos Hills Clean-up Day Saturday

Written by Beatrice Karnes

Most of us have an electronics graveyard in our homes—old computers, scanners, printers, laptops, cell phones and enough cords to wrap around the world three times. (That’s only a slight exaggeration.)

This Saturday, July 27, is your chance to get rid of stuff that’s piling up in your home or garage.

GreenWaste is holding Los Altos Hills Clean-up Day at Foothill College, Parking Lot 3, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.  This is important: you must present your most recent GreenWaste bill along with an ID proving that you’re a Los Altos Hills resident.

Also, if the bins fill-up early, they will stop accepting waste.

Here’s a list of items that will be accepted:

• House and lawn furniture, including sofas, mattresses, chairs and more
• E-waste, including TVs, computers, microwave ovens and more
• Appliances, including washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water heaters, stoves
• Up to 30 gallons of concrete, dirt, rock, etc.
• Up to 30 gallons of construction debris
• Plastic toys
• Radios and stereos
• Bikes and exercise equipment

Here’s a list of items that will not be accepted:

• Tires
• Fuel cans or items containing oil, grease or gasoline (no gas lawnmowers, car engines)
• Large pieces of glass
• Hazardous waste (oil, paint, pesticides, fluorescent light blubs)
