Concerned about how to safely recycle old electronics?
Wonder what to do with that old television set that is collecting dust in your garage?
The Reno/Sparks FREE Recycling Event can help answer these questions. Simply bring the electrionics you want recycled to:

Area residents and businesses can drop off their old electronics for free and receive a tax deductible receipt for doing so. Electronics that can be recycled include:

The free electronics recycling event is sponsored by the City of Reno, City of Sparks, Washoe County, University of Nevada Reno, Whole Foods, Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, Radiant Technologies, West Coast Contractors, New2u Computers and IVGID Waste Not.
Working electronics that are dropped off at the end of the month will be refurbished, repaired and resold by New2U Computers. Anything that can no longer be useful will be sent to a highly qualified company in California for recycling. New2U Computers is a local non-profit organization that sells refurbished computers at rock-bottom prices. The money they earn is then used to fund programs for the disabled in Northern Nevada. Worried about recycling your computer because of identity theft? Don't be. New2U certifies data destruction to protect your privacy.
Keeping waste contained in home electronics out of our trash along with reducing waste is the goal of this community recycling event. For more information please contact New2ucomputers at 775-329-1126 or Jason Geddes, City of Reno Environmental Service Administrator at 775-334-3311.
