The City is hosting a FREE event for Benbrook residents to recycle electronic and appliance items and to shred documents on August 26, from 8:00am until 12:00pm at Dutch Branch Park, rear parking lot behind the Par 3 Golf Course. Follow the signs off Winscott to Beach Road (same location as Household Hazardous Waste event behind the Benbrook Community Center/YMCA, 1899 Winscott Road).
As a rule of thumb, if it can be plugged in, it can be recycled.
The following is a list of common items that citizens can bring for recycling:
- Televisions (any size)/Radios/Telephones
- Computers/monitors/printers (Innovative Electronics destroys the hard drive)
- Fax Machines/Copiers
- Microwave ovens/Dishwashers/Washers/Dryers/Refrigerators
- Gaming systems (Xbox, PlayStations, etc.)
- Vacuum Cleaners
- VCR’s
- Smoke detectors
- Batteries
Please limit shredding to a reasonable household amount. No large quantities of business documents. Please do not place plastic materials such as credit cards or compact discs with documents to be shredded. Shredding will take place from 8:00am until 12:00pm or until the shred truck is full.
