Victor Valley residents are invited to attend the last Shred Fest and Mulch Giveaway of the year at the Victor Valley Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) on Saturday, November 2, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. All activities are FREE and open to all residents of the High Desert.
Free Shred-Fest: High Desert residents can bring up to four bankers boxes of confidential paper documents to
be shredded for free. All Purpose Document Destruction will have a truck on site, so residents can watch their documents get shredded. The free shredding is for paper documents from residents only. No business materials.
Free Mulch and Compost Giveaway: Area residents can pick up free mulch on Saturday at the MRF. This is a “self-serve” giveaway, so residents will need to bring their own shovels and containers to load the mulch into. Limit 50 gallons per resident.
MRF Open House and Tour: Residents can view the Victor Valley MRF’s processing equipment and see where approximately 100 tons per day of commingled recyclables from Apple Valley, Victorville, and Adelanto are processed.
Free Reusable Grocery Bag Giveaway: The first 75 visitors will receive a free reusable shopping bag.
Free Drop-off of TVs, Computers, and Appliances: Area residents can bring TVs, computers, scrap metal, and appliances to drop-off for free at the RECYCLE ALLEY drop off area.
In addition, residents can also visit the MRFs buy back center and redeem their separated CRV bottles and cans for cash.
