Electronic waste (or e-waste) has become the world’s fastest-growing waste stream and ACDEM is well positioned to help offer solutions. By providing affordable, accessible recycling options, ACDEM ensures that hazardous materials found in electronics stay out of our landfill. Electronics should never be disposed of in trash, curbside or community recycling bins.
“We’re proud to offer convenient recycling solutions and education to the residents of Allen County,” says Stacie Hubbert, ACDEM Director. “By safely recycling thousands of electronics, we’re not only reducing waste but also giving these devices a new lease on life when securely recycled through our contractor, ERI.”
This event is open to residents only; businesses and non-profits are not eligible to participate. For a complete list of accepted items and more information about electronics recycling in Allen County, visit www.acwastewatcher.org.
