Metro Atlanta Rotary Clubs to Sponsor Electronics Recycling Day in Tucker

The Rotary Clubs of Northlake and Stone Mountain will host an Electronics Recycling Day on Saturday, 1 November, from 9.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. The event will benefit Friends of Disabled Adults and Children (FODAC). Working and non-working electronics (with the exception of CRT monitors) will be accepted for recycling at no charge, but participants are encouraged to make a donation to FODAC. The event will be held at First Christian Church of Atlanta, 4532 LaVista Road in Tucker.

Working electronics and computers will be collected by FODAC for resale at its Thrift Store at 4900 Lewis Road in Stone Mountain. Proceeds from thrift store sales as well as funds collected at the event will support FODAC’s mission to provide home medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers and shower benches, to those with mobility impairments, at little or no cost to the recipients or their families.

Non-working electronics will be recycled through partnerships with FODAC and aggregate recyclers.

Examples of electronics eligible for recycling are calculators, fax machines, keyboards, computer mouses, working and non-working computers, broadband and other electronics cabling, game controllers, remote controllers, scanners, phones (mobile and landline), PDAs and routers. For a full list of recyclable electronics, visit www.fodac.org/recyclingday.

Smooth Mooove Senior Relocation Services will supply a large truck and driver for the event.
