Reno Complex Celebrates Recycle-Palooza on March 29-30

by Trey Granger

Northern Nevada residents can bring their obsolete electronics for free recycling to the Somersett Welcome Center on either March 29 or 30.

The event will run from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on both days. Electronics that will be accepted include computers and components, monitors, printers, cell phones and PDAs, VCRs and radios.

The event is being branded as Recycle-Palooza. Other festivities:

  • Light bulb exchange: Bring in up to eight light bulbs and exchange them for energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs)
  • Pinky’s Pink Ink: Recycling of inkjet and toner cartridges to benefit schools
  • Bicycle/Eyeglass Donation: These items will be refurbished and redistributed by Kiwanis
  • Living Green Lectures: Seminars on how to save energy in your home

Check out the Recycle-Palooza flyer to learn more information. To find out where to properly dispose of these products in your area, use Earth 911’s recycling locator.
