Don’t forget the city of Kent’s annual Summer Recycling Collection Event and Composter Sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 3 at the Kent Phoenix Academy parking lot, 11000 SE 264th St.

Besides bringing items not easily recycled at the curb, Kent residents can purchase composter bins for $25, while supplies last.

Appliances, refrigerators and freezers, toilets, sinks and mattresses will be accepted along with concrete, rocks, asphalt and brick. These items should be placed on a tarp, plastic sheet or in buckets to speed up unloading.

Confidential Data Destruction will provide free shredding of up to three file-sized boxes of documents per vehicle.

This event is funded by grants from the state Department of Ecology, King County Solid Waste Division and the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program.
