Public Works

Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy their sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, November 7.

Hosted by Waste Management and the City Public Works Department, the event is from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.

The City and Waste Management are teaming up to host a free composting workshop at 10 am on Saturday, October 3 in the Kershaw Garden at Mission Viejo City Hall.

Residents can learn how to turn their yard and food waste into organic fertilizer through traditional composting or vermi-composting.

As part of a street-improvement project to extend the life of busy Mission Viejo streets, northbound and southbound Marguerite Parkway will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Oso and Crown Valley Parkways for two weeks through October 2.

The work includes asphalt grinding and a new asphalt pavement surface.

Following the paving of Marguerite Parkway, westbound and eastbound Alicia Parkway will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Marguerite Parkway and Olympiad Road from October 5-16 for grinding and paving.

This year, cleaning the coast will start at our own front doors.

In light of the compost not arriving during our August event, the City of Mission Viejo, in partnership with Waste Management, is hosting a second event on Saturday, October 10th. The FREE compost will be dropped off at the back of the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter's parking lot (28095 Hillcrest). Mission Viejo residents are welcome to bring their own shovel plus a bag or container and fill it up with fresh, healthy compost for their garden. Residents may stop by any time after 11:00 a.m., but please note compost will only be available while supplies last.
