The City of Salina’s 15th annual Electronic Waste (E-waste) Recycling
Event will be hosted by the City and TechRemove, LLC. The event
will be held at the Berkley Family Recreational Area, 841 Markley Rd.
on Saturday May 6th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
E-waste is consumer electronic equipment that is obsolete and needs
to be discarded properly. Computers, televisions, cameras, gaming
systems, phones and microwaves are examples of E-waste.
Recycling electronic equipment not only preserves resources like
aluminum, copper, gold, silver and ferrous metals; it also diverts toxic
materials like mercury, lead, cadmium and flame retardants from the
landfill. When electronic equipment is recycled, landfill space is also
saved.
There are no limitations regarding who may participate or the number
of items that may be recycled at the event. Nearly any device with a
cord or that uses a battery will be accepted. However, there are some
exceptions. To see a detailed list of items that will and will not be
accepted at the event visit:
