Free Shredding on Saturday
The Longmont community is invited to participate in the first shredding event of the year on Saturday, March 6 from 9 am to 2 pm at the Recycling and Tree Limb Diversion Center located at 140 South Martin St. This is In response to the needs of our residents, our dedication to preserving our environment, and to help protect your identity. Shredded material is recyclable, but not accepted in your curbside single-stream recycling cart. These events let Longmont residents conveniently recycle sensitive documents in a manner that maintains efficient operation of the processing center. To participate, simply bring your recent City of Longmont utility bill, showing the Waste Management fee.
