Free
Dispose of hazardous materials and electronic items and securely shred paper materials. The disposal/recycling event is held each year in Wilmington on the first Saturday in October near Frawley Stadium (801 S. Madison St.), home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks. The October 7 event, held rain or shine, will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The City, through its Department of Public Works, will again partner with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, United Way of Delaware and the AFL-CIO Community Services to present this popular drive-through disposal event which attracts hundreds of citizens from throughout the greater Wilmington and New Castle County area.
There is a limit of three boxes of paper materials per household for the shredding service. Examples of the types of hazardous or electronic waste items that can be discarded are listed here: bit.ly/WilmDEShreddingEvent
