Electronics Recycling Day is this Saturday, Oct. 20, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at Decatur Public Works, 2635 Talley St. Recycle electronic equipment, Styrofoam, and shred sensitive documents, too!
See full guidelines for recyclable items at decaturga.com/electronicsrecycling.
Public works will recycle just about any electronics equipment you have in your attic, basement, closet or office. See decaturga.com/electronicsrecycling for a list, and for answers to frequently asked questions. Recycle your Styrofoam as well and safely shred and recycle your sensitive documents all in one place. It’s simple and convenient. Just drive through and drop off your recyclables 9 a.m.-1 p.m. (Sorry, early drop-offs are not possible.)
