Sedona News – The city of Sedona will host the free Limited Collection Event on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the West Sedona School parking lot at 570 Posse Ground Rd., near the Sedona Community Pool.

Household electronics, small battery waste and medical waste will be collected by city partners Westech Recyclers, Veolia and Ponderosa Medical. In addition, Assured Document Destruction will have an on-site paper shredding truck.
Disposing of electronics, batteries and medical waste in landfills contaminates drinking water and can kill wildlife. Throwing out electronics can waste billions of dollars in recoverable materials such as gold, silver, coltan, copper, palladium, platinum and other valuable metals. Paper documents can be recycled into new products, reducing the need to cut down forests for paper production. Proper disposal is important for protecting the health of humans and the environment.
This event is considered a limited collection event in that the city will not be accepting items such as paint and lightbulbs like it does during the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event. The next Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event is expected to be held in October.
