E-cycling

E-cycling event will be held this Saturday
WAILUKU – Computers, televisions, stereo systems, cell phones and any electronic product with a circuit board can be “e-cycled” Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the War Memorial Stadium parking lot.

Participants can also investigate a reuse site, where working electronic gear will be given away as part of the e-cycling event supported by Maui County and managed by Habitat for Humanity.

The electronics recycling project is intended to keep the gear that contains toxic but recyclable metals out of the county landfills. Equipment that can be reused will be repaired and given away or donated; obsolete or unrepairable equipment will be shipped to an electronics recycler.

An e-cycling day will be held for businesses and agencies with large loads of equipment on Friday. The Saturday event is for the general public with small loads.

For more information, call 573-4018. For information on recycling in general, go online to www.mauicounty.gov/recycle.
