Why Recycle Electronics?

Americans accumulate close to 50 million tons of electronic waste each year. Much of this waste can be recycled and used again. Dumping e-waste into landfills can release elements that leach into the soil and water. Incinerating e-waste can also release harmful particles into the air. Responsible recycling can prevent these problems and make the raw materials available for reuse.

The Electronics Recycling Event will be held on Saturday, October 11, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at all Grand Furniture locations. Please view this flyer for a list of accepted items. All accepted items will be processed free of charge, excluding televisions. The $10 processing charge for television sets will be waived for the first 100 sets at each location.

The eCycling events are brought to you by WVEC-TV13 in partnership with Creative Recycling, Grand Furniture, ASIS Applied Services & Information Systems Companies, the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, HR CLEAN and area clean community commissions for the first regional electronic event in Hampton Roads.
