The city of Kenmore is hosting a recycling and secure document shredding event on Saturday, June 8. The events will be held in two separate locations with different operating schedules.

The document shredding event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at Kenmore Village located at 68th Ave. N.E. and Northeast 181st Street. Shredding sensitive documents is one way to reduce your risk of becoming an identity theft victim. Residents are invited to bring up to five banker boxes of documents to be professionally destroyed and recycled. Documents with paper clips, staples, and rubber bands are okay. Please no CDs, DVDs or binders. Any questions may be directed to Windermere Northlake at 206-364-8100. Windermere Northlake is providing this service to the Kenmore community.

The recycling event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Northshore Park and Ride located at 68th Ave. N.E. and Northeast 182nd Street in Kenmore.

The recycling event provides an opportunity for Kenmore residents to properly dispose of batteries, cardboard, bulky wood, approved electronic equipment, household goods, and other items. New items to be accepted as part of a pilot project include Styrofoam blocks, packing peanuts, mattresses, box springs and futons. Some fees apply. See attached flyer for details.

Event details are also available on the City’s website at www.kenmorewa.gov/events.
