In conjunction with the Annual Earth Day and Energy Fair we are having two collection events! Please share the following information with your friends, family, patrons, and colleagues of Douglas County. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call me.
ELECTRONICS RECYCLING DAY Date: Sat. April 19th, 10am-4pm Location: Douglas County Fairgrounds Parking Lot FREE TO DROP OFF!!! In conjunction with the Earth Day and Energy Fair! ITEMS COLLECTED: Computers (CPUs and Monitors), VCRs, DVD Players, Cell Phones, Video Game Consoles, Printers, Scanners, Cables, Stereos, etc… Businesses encouraged to participate! WHY? E-Waste composes one of the fastest growing and highly toxic waste streams in the industrialized world. There will soon be an estimated 300 million to 600 million obsolete computers in the U.S., all containing lead, mercury, cadmium, and dioxin-like flame retardants. Obsolete computers pose a serious threat to human health and the environment when improperly disposed or recycled.
