VICTORVILLE, Calif. (news release) – Are you looking to off-load some of your old paperwork, TVs, appliances, mattresses, and more? Take advantage of the Free Shred-Fest, Mulch Giveaway and Disposal Event at the Victor Valley Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) on Saturday, Aug. 5, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. This event will feature a shred-fest, mulch and compost giveaway, electronic waste and appliance disposal, and mattress/box spring disposal. All activities are FREE and open to residents of the High Desert. The Victor Valley MRF is located at 17000 Abbey Lane in Victorville, just off of Stoddard Wells Road.
Free Shred-Fest: High Desert residents can bring up to four bankers boxes of paper documents to be shredded.

No business materials will be permitted.
Free Mulch and Compost Giveaway: Area residents can pick up free mulch during the event. This is a “self-serve” giveaway, so residents will need to bring their own shovels and containers to load and transport the mulch home. The limit is 50 gallons per resident.
