Metrolink and Metro are encouraging the public to be environmentally friendly this Earth Day by recycling. The first 200 people to arrive at Union Station to recycle their electronic waste (any item with a cord or requiring a battery), clothes, office paper and glass, aluminum and plastic containers will receive a free Metrolink round-trip ticket good for travel anywhere on the Metrolink system starting on Tuesday, April 23. Metrolink round-trip tickets, like all other Metrolink tickets, are good for a free transfer to Metro’s subway, light rail and buses that operate within Los Angeles County.

Collection time will be from 7 a.m. to noon on Monday, April 22. The collection area is located on the Alameda Street side of Union Station near the rose garden.
