The City says recycling companies can get aluminum, copper, gold, silver and other materials from the products. Recycling also keeps toxic materials like lead and mercury from going into the landfill.

Those who want to recycle items at the E-waste event should enter from Markley Road at the water tower and follow the traffic cones and signs. Stay in your vehicle while staff members collect the items.

If you have any questions, contact the City’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 785-826-6638.
