What: Electronics and cardboard recycling

When: November 12; 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Where: Earth House Collective, 237 N. East St.



Commuters are encouraged to load up their trunks with old electronics (computers, printers, televisions, etc.) and cardboard. View a full list of accepted recyclables at www.greenpieceindy.com/blog/?page_id=160. The recycling sites will be full-service – just pop the trunk and staff will unload your recyclables and have you on your way to work.



Electronics typically contain highly recyclable and/or toxic materials. Workforce disassembles electronics, recycling all metals and plastics and properly disposing of toxic e-waste.



Workforce requests a $10 donation to recycle a television due to the expenses associated with safely disposing of lead tubes.
