In celebration of Earth Day, MCG invites residents to safely recycle unwanted electronics during this free, drive thru event. Volunteers will unload items while participants remain in their vehicles. Electronics will be recycled or repurposed by an Iowa-based partner, keeping hazardous materials out of landfills.
Since 2007, the event has diverted more than 753,000 pounds of e-waste from landfills. Organizers hope to collect more than 30,000 pounds this year. Attendees are also encouraged to recycle household and cell phone batteries to help reduce landfill fire risks.
Community partners - MCG, Bayer, Grinnell College, & Imagine Grinnell
