Alpine residents can drop off old electronics and paper documents for free shredding and recycling at City Hall on Saturday, Sept. 19, according to a September 2 report. The event is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to noon at 20 N. Main St.
The city will accept various items including cell phones, computers, laptops, keyboards, tablets, MP3 players, iPods, hard drives, printers, stereos, fax machines, CD and DVD players, and flat-screen TVs. However, a civic alert on the city's website noted that batteries, light bulbs, and CRT televisions will not be accepted.
For paper shredding, residents must remove documents from three-ring binders and remove metal binder clips before arrival, though staples and paper clips may remain. The city is limiting paper drop-offs to three boxes per household.
