Deerfield Sets Spring Shredding, Compost Giveaway, Recycling Dates

DEERFIELD, IL — Residents have three spring dates to mark down for paper shredding, a compost giveaway and electronics and textile recycling events organized by the village. The events are scheduled for May 2, May 9 and June 6 at Public Works and the Metra parking lot.

According to the village, the spring paper shredding, compost giveaway and electronics and textile recycling events are meant to give residents convenient ways to dispose of materials safely while reducing waste.

Officials said shredding helps protect personal information, recycling keeps electronics and textiles out of landfills and allows materials to be reused, and compost supports healthier lawns and gardens while reducing the need for fertilizer.

The first event is the Shredding Event, scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon, May 2, at Public Works. The Compost Giveaway will follow on May 9, also from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Metra parking lot.

The Electronics and Textile Recycling Event follows those, planned for 9 a.m. to noon, June 6, at Public Works.
