Free E-Waste Recycling in Utah This Weekend

This weekend Simply Mac is sponsoring free e-waste recycling for Salt Lake and Utah Counties. Friday, April 29, 2011 is the day for businesses to drop off their old electronics, and Saturday, April 30, 2011 is for personal electronics recycling. The hours for drop off are 9 am to 3 pm on both days. Rain or shine.

Lorraine Press would like to encourage everyone to recycle their old computers, (uncracked or unbroken) CRT monitors, keyboards, servers, switches, computer wires, hard drives, cell phones, PDAs, DVD or VHS players, TVs, copiers, and fax machines. Recycling your old electronics helps extend the life of our landfills in Utah. E-waste is the fastest growing segment of America's trash volume. For a full list of what is being accepted and what is not, click here and scroll down to the list of accepted electronic devices.

All equipment is going to be destroyed and then recycled. None of it will be re-used.

There are several drop-off locations in both Utah and Salt Lake counties.

For Salt Lake County: University of Utah, Merrill Engineering Parking Lot, 72 S. Central Campus Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84112 AND Maverik Center, South Parking Lot, 3200 South Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, UT 84119

For Utah County:  Thanksgiving Point, North Parking Lot, 3003 N. Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84043 AND Provo Towne Center, West Parking Lot, 1200 Towne Centre Blvd, Provo, UT 84601

For more information, see the Simply Mac website.

Do the earth a favor and recycle those old electronic dinosaurs!

  2. Recycling your waste electronics saves resources because new metals don't have to be reproduced. Still, most of the people tend to retain all failed hardware - some don't even believe grinding them up into little pieces is sufficient. So they store failed drives in secure warehouses somewhere.
