Get ready to declutter responsibly at Bloomington’s Citywide Recycling Drop-Off event on Saturday, September 20, 8 a.m.-1 p.m., at Western Maintenance Facility, 10500 Hampshire Ave. S.

Open to all Bloomington residents, the event offers a convenient way to recycle a variety of items, including appliances, bicycles, electronics, mattresses and box springs, scrap metal, tires and paper for on-site shredding.

Some items will be accepted at no cost, while others will require a fee (cash or check only). It’s a great opportunity to dispose of hard-to-recycle items properly while helping reduce waste in our community.
