Overland Park, KS - This Saturday will be a recycling extravaganza in Overland Park.

If you have old medication, used carpet and padding, old cell phones, outdated and unwanted sensitive documents, Overland Park wants to help you clean the clutter from your home.

"From clothing to computers to medical equipment and more, we will have volunteers ready to help you off load and either recycle it, or provide it to an organization for reuse for those in need," said Jim Twigg, environmental programs coordinator.

There are two events on Saturday. Visit the city's Web site to learn more about each.

They are:

• Electronic Recycling and Recycling Extravaganza. It is from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Black & Veatch, 11401 Lamar. You can bring computer CPUs, keyboards, mice, VCRs, stereos, scanners and more.

You can shred confidential documents, recycle a cell phone, drop off reusable building material, and used carpet and padding, bring unused fabric and notions, clothing and housewares, and bicycles.
