Menlo Park residents can recycle electronics on September 5

On Saturday, September 5, 2026 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, RethinkWaste and Recology San Mateo County are teaming up with the City of Menlo Park to encourage residents to properly recycle old electronics. The event takes place at the City Corporation Yard, 333 Burgess Drive.

Residents should place their electronic waste in their trunks and remove other personal items. Residents remain in their vehicles while the vendor picks up the electronic waste from the trunks.

Accepted items include TVs, computers, printers, monitors, cables/cords, cell phones, MP3 players, DVD players, laptops and more (working or not).

Items that will not be accepted include household appliances like fans, floor heaters, smoke detectors, vacuum cleaners, cooktops, dishwashers, microwaves, ovens, stoves, refrigerators, freezers or household hazardous waste.

This is a first come, first serve event. Appointments are not required. Proof of residency may be required. The event will only be available until the end time, until the trucks are full, or while supplies last.
