Drop-Off Disposal Event for Old Electronics Replaced During Holiday Shopping to Benefit Disabled Metro Detroiter Workers; eCycle Opportunities in Southfield, Thurs. Dec. 4
eCycle Opportunities, an electronics recycling business operated by non-profit agency Gesher Human Services to provide jobs for people with barriers to employment, will be offering metro Detroiters the opportunity to dispose of electronics which have been replaced during post-Thanksgiving sales. The free event will be held on Thurs. Dec. 4 at the organization’s headquarters in Southfield, Mich. (29699 Southfield Road); the normal $25 television disposal fee and $5 printer disposal fee for residents will be waived. Electronics including computers, monitors, printers, televisions, phones, tablets, and accessories will be accepted for recycling.
All electronics will be recycled in a manner that protects the environment, the workers and the public. This includes secure data destruction, safe dismantling processes, and ensuring hazardous chemicals do not enter our land, water or air. Since its launch in 2016, eCycle Opportunities has recycled over 4 million pounds of electronic material and intakes an average of 50,000 pounds of electronics a month. Doors will open at the South side of the building (which is marked as the Rose and Sidney Diem Building) at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 7 p.m. Note: this event is for residents only; businesses are excluded.
