Electronics Recycling Collection Drop-off Day – May 9
Electronics have revolutionized our lifestyle with computers, radios, telephones, and cell phones. However, they also make up the bulk of electronics that threaten the environment, because of the dangerous elements in them. Recycling and reuse of these electronic items prevent them from reaching landfills, which help to create less waste, and provide usable items to organizations that need them and recapture valuable resources.
