San Mateo Hosting Recycling Event

City residents can drop off electronic waste, destroy sensitive documents, and pass along clean clothes on Saturday.

This weekend you can dump off electronic waste, destroy sensitive documents, and pass along clean clothes to those in need in one stop.

The city of San Mateo will take these items off your hands at a recycling event it's hosting on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Beresford parking lot (2720 Alameda de las Pulgas).

San Mateo residents can drop  off unwanted electronics, up to three banker's boxes of documents for secure shredding, and clean used clothing at the event.

The city partnered with a private company (USAgain) for its clothing drive.

See the attached PDF for a complete list of acceptable and unacceptable drop-off items.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
