Free Paper Shredding, E-Waste & Compost Event!

April 5, 2025

EDCO and the City of La Mirada are sponsoring a FREE paper shredding, e-waste collection, and mulch event!

Saturday, April 5, 2025
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
La Mirada Community Gymnasium parking lot
15105 Alicante Road (please enter off of Alicante Road)

There will be a certified shredding truck during the event, and all items will be shredded ON-SITE! Limited to three banker boxes (10”x 12”x15”) per household.

Unwanted electronics, such as TVs, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, VCRs, etc., will also be collected. However, no household hazardous waste (HHW) material will be accepted.

Free compost will also be available for residents (while supplies last). This is a self-serve, self-loading service, so please bring your own cans/bags and shovel—a limit of 3 cans/bags per vehicle. If you plan to haul your compost in an open truck or trailer, please remember to bring a tarp to cover your material.

The event is for La Mirada residents only. Please bring proof of residency (i.e., CA Driver’s License or utility bill).
