LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Looking to recycle old electronic equipment while also helping to cut back on toxic waste thrown out?

The Regional Recycling District in Pulaski County will hold a free electronics recycling drop-off event on Tuesday, April 2, and Wednesday, April 3, from 7 a.m.-2 p.m., at the Simmons Bank Arena parking lot on E. Washington Avenue in North Little Rock.

E-waste from trashed electric devices is piling up and recycling isn’t keeping pace, UN says

Pulaski County residents and businesses can bring old, broken, or obsolete electronic items from computers and computer accessories to mobile phones and flat screens to the free recycling collection.

“We call it e-waste,” Regional Recycling Executive Director Craig Douglass said. “But it is actually not waste at all because electronic equipment and its component parts can be recycled and re-marketed for the manufacture of new products and devices.”

The collection is for residential households, businesses, non-profits, churches, governments, and schools living and doing business in Pulaski County.
