18 Jun Clear Clutter While Protecting the Environment with E-Waste Recycling

If your home is anything like mine, you have them. The old cell phones stashed in a desk drawer. The leftovers from computer upgrades tucked away in a closet. The hand-me-down TVs sitting in the corner of the garage. These obsolete electronics are known collectively as e-waste and they can take over your storage if you aren’t careful.

But this weekend you can bust your clutter while also ensuring that the metals and other toxic elements in these items don’t harm the environment.

On Saturday, June 20 from noon until 6:00 PM eco International will be collecting electronic items for recycling. The free recycling area will be located at the 1890 Ranch Shopping Center in Cedar Park. The 1890 Ranch Shopping Center is located at 1335 East Whitestone Blvd, which is the corner of Highway 183A and Whitestone Blvd (also known as FM 1431).

If your schedule doesn’t allow you to participate this Saturday, learn more about other e-waste recycling opportunities at the electronic waste recycling in Texas page on Public Research Works.

Then relax while you enjoy your cleared drawers and closets!
