The document shredding and e-waste collection events are free and open to Rancho Mirage residents only with proof of residency (photo I.D., driver’s license, or utility bill showing Rancho Mirage address). As a Covid-19 precaution*, Residents with a local country club access sticker on their vehicle will be permitted to enter without showing proof of residency.

All documents will be shredded on-site and then recycled. There is no need to remove staples or paperclips from the documents. Examples of documents one might shred include tax documents, bank statements, real estate transactions, and other legal or confidential papers that one does not want to put in the regular recycle bin.

• Shredding is limited to six (6) 12’’ x 17″ x 9″ boxes of documents (normal file box size) per resident
• E-Waste (electronic components) such as old televisions, computers, cell phones, printers, and other small household electronics.  Household batteries (e.g. “AA”, or “D” flashlight & laptop batteries) will also be accepted for recycling.

*Please be advised that in accordance with City/State COVID-19 guidelines, residents and City staff will be required to follow proper Covid-19 protocol to ensure the health and safety of our community. Please read below for resident precautions so you can arrive at the event prepared.
