Half Moon Bay's Fall 2026 Recycling Event at Smith Field: Compost, E-Waste, Shredding

Republic Services is teaming up with the City of Half Moon Bay to hold our annual Earth Day Recycling Event for Half Moon Bay residents. The event will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Smith Field Parking Lot (end of Wavecrest Road), and services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Please review the information below for additional details on each of our services.

E-Waste Recycling: Place your e-waste in the trunk or back seat of your car and remain inside your vehicle until a staff member can retrieve your items. Electronic waste accepted at this event includes TVs, monitors, printers, computers, cables, cell phones, lamps, DVD players, etc. Best practice is to always remove or wipe any hard drives from electronics before disposing of them.

Paper Shredding: Place all your boxes for shredding (3 boxes per household maximum) material in the trunk of your car. When arriving on site, follow the directions of staff to proceed to the designated paper shredding location where the vendor will retrieve the materials from your trunk.

Compost Giveaway: Remember to bring your own bags, shovels, buckets, etc. to get your FREE compost! Households are limited to 0.5 cubic yards, which is approximately the size of your 96-gallon, organics cart. Any excess material will be left out over the weekend for pickup by residents.
