Electronics Recycling Event Coming to Quincy Saturday
State Rep. Kyle Moore will host a free collection event at the Oakley Lindsay Center, giving area residents an opportunity to responsibly dispose of unwanted electronics.
QUINCY, Ill. Quincy-area residents looking to clear out old electronics will have an opportunity to recycle them Saturday during an Electronics Recycle Event hosted by State Rep. Kyle Moore.
The event will take place Saturday, Sept. 19, from 9 a.m. to noon in the south parking lot of the Oakley Lindsay Center, 300 Civic Center Plaza in Quincy.
The collection is intended to provide residents with an easy way to dispose of unwanted electronics while keeping recyclable materials out of landfills.
Organizers are encouraging residents to bring unwanted electronic items, particularly equipment with cords or items containing recyclable metal components.
Electronics can contain materials that may be recovered and reused rather than discarded with ordinary household waste, making community collection events a convenient option for residents with older or unused equipment taking up space at home.
Those with questions about whether a particular item will be accepted can contact Moore’s office at 217-223-0833.
The event is scheduled to run until noon Saturday.
