Dear Ilda,

As part of the Keep America Beautiful and Keep Oklahoma Beautiful programs, Waste Management Recycle America, a subsidiary of Waste Management (WM), and LG Electronics USA (LG) are hosting two free eCycling events in the state of Oklahoma. These events offer residents an opportunity to give life to their old residential electronic equipment in an environmentally sound manner that is free, convenient and secure.  During this one-day, two-city event on July 30, sponsored by LG and WM, there will be two designated eCycling drop-off sites across the state, in Norman and Shawnee, where citizens can easily dispose of and recycle their household electronic devices from 7:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. in Norman and 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. in Shawnee.

Electronics are recyclable and valuable, and there are more than 5 million tons sitting in basements, closets and drawers across the country, with 2 million new tons added to the waste stream each year.  In fact, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, e-waste is the fastest growing segment of the nation’s waste stream.  By recycling old electronic products, useful materials such as glass, plastic and metal can be re-used in the manufacture of other products.

Acceptable items for the eCycling events are:
Computers – CPUs
Computer monitors
Computer peripherals
Printers
Fax machines
Keyboards
Photocopiers
Televisions
VCRs
Stereos
Home and office phones
Cell phones
Consumer electronics

Unacceptable items for the eCycling events are:
Microwaves
Smoke alarms and detectors
Fire alarms and detectors
Thermometers
Dehumidifiers
Large appliances (refrigerators, etc.)
Non-decontaminated medical equipment
Any unit with sludge or liquids

Oklahoma event designated drop-off sites:

Norman Drop-off site:
Marc Heitz Chevrolet
1221 Ed Noble Parkway
Norman

(open from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.)
