Manassas, Va. residents will be able to recycle their household hazardous waste, electronic waste, gently used clothing and even shred paper documents for FREE. Last year more than 400 residents attended Recyclefest, and brought more than 20,000 tons of recycling in just four hours.

Waste Management, American Disposal and the City of Manassas will have information booths available at the Spring Recyclefest, while American Disposal will also provide a trash truck for attendees to view. American Disposal will also host a contest for people to guess the amount of cans in an aluminum bale, and the winner will be awarded Washington Nationals tickets. In addition, the Osbourn High School Robotics team of Manassas, Va. will debut a recycling project. The team is competing in an international robotics competition with a recycling theme.
