eDay - recycle electronic waste

eDay is an annual cars-only drive-through electronic recycling drop-off event.  
Recycling electronic waste (e-waste) enables the recovery and reuse of valuable materials and ensures toxic materials are not buried in our landfills.

eDay is a simple, free and effective way to recycle your old electronic equipment.
