The first event will take place this Saturday at Miami Whitewater Forest Harbor.
(Hamilton County, Oh.) – Great Parks is renewing its electronics waste recycling team-up with Cohen Recycling through a series of three collection events coming to different parks over three months.
Collecting e-waste at these events will divert toxic materials such as heavy metals away from landfills, from which they can find their way into watersheds and wildlife areas.
The upcoming e-waste recycling events are scheduled for 9:00 AM to noon on the following Saturdays:
- September 7 at Miami Whitewater Forest Harbor
- October 12 at Woodland Mound
- November 2 at Winton Woods Harbor
E-waste from outdated computers and cell phones is a quickly growing concern worldwide. There is no maximum number of items a person can drop off. Devices with a cathode ray tube, such as old televisions and flat screen TVs, require a $10 fee.
