In partnership with Cabarrus County and Goodwill, the City of Concord will host a free Safe Disposal Event on May 1, 2021 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The event will be held in the parking lot at 280 Concord Parkway North (behind the Arby's).
The annual event is an opportunity for residents to safeguard their personal information and help protect against identity theft by safely disposing of documents and electronics. It also provides a safe, convenient, and responsible way for residents to discard unused or expired medications. Too often, these drugs find their way into the wrong hands and contribute to drug addiction and misuse.
Residents may bring up to 5 trash bags or banker boxes (per person) of paper for shredding, as well as any electronic waste (televisions, computers, cell phones, charging cables and accessories, batteries, and other devices), and unused or expired medications.
For more information, contact Robin Barham, Director of Solid Waste Services, at 704-920-5351.
