Shredding & Styrofoam Recycling Event

Recyclables must only be dropped off during the hours of the event. Early drop-offs are not possible.

It is your responsibility to clean your hard drive with one of the programs available commercially or for free on the Internet. Owners should be aware that there are risks of private or other information being pulled from laptop drives, and that therefore the donor assumes such risks and waives all liability for any potential disclosure of private, personal, financial, etc. information that may be extracted from the laptop by third parties who end up with the laptop, etc. 

No. It is easiest for us if the items are not boxed or bagged. If you want to go the extra mile, clip power cords and bring the cords and equipment.

Electronics and batteries contain dangerous chemicals such as mercury and lead that leach into the soil and groundwater when dumped at landfills. These chemicals are toxic to the local flora, fauna, and threaten public health. Additionally, electronics contain valuable raw materials that can be reused.
