ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. (Allen County Department of Environmental Management Release) –  Do you have a TV, monitor, and other electronics to recycle? The Allen County Department of Environmental Management (ACDEM) is hosting an Electronics Recycling Event on Saturday, June 24th. From 9am to noon, residents can bring five electronic items for five dollars to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum parking lot located at 4000 Parnell Avenue. Cash or check is the only form of payment accepted. 

Televisions, cell phones, cameras, CDs, cords, DVDs, keyboards, laptops, monitors, printers, radios, VCRs, and tablets are just a few of the items accepted at the Electronics Recycling Event. Residents are limited to bringing two televisions per vehicle.
