FREE Paper Shredding & E-Waste Recycling Event!

June 13, 2026

The City of Vista and EDCO are sponsoring a FREE shredding event. The event is limited to two banker boxes (10” x 12” x 15”) per household. A certified shredding truck will be present during the event, and all items will be shredded ON-SITE!

Unwanted electronics, such as TVs, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, VCRs, etc., will also be collected. However, no household hazardous waste (HHW) material will be accepted.

Free mulch and/or compost will also be available for Vista residents (based on product availability, while supplies last). This is a self-serve, self-loading, and self-haul service, so please bring your own cans/bags, gloves, and shovel. There is a limit of 3 cans/bags per vehicle. If you plan to haul your material in an open truck or trailer, please remember to bring a tarp to cover your material.

Goodwill will also be onsite to accept donated reusable items. Please click here for a list of items that Goodwill will not accept.

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Location: Civic Center, 200 Civic Center Drive, Vista (lower parking lot off of Alta Vista Dr.)
