MERS/Goodwill and the Cardinals Partner to Collect and Recycle Unwanted Electronics
Drive gives St. Louisans opportunity to responsibly dispose of used electronics, receive game ticket vouchers
- MERS/Goodwill is partnering with the St. Louis Cardinals to host an electronics recycling and general donations drive Monday, April 22 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- The drive will be located near the Ballpark on Parking Lot C at the corner of 8th and Cerre Street.
- This annual drive will collect all unwanted electronic devices in addition to general donations.
- Donors will receive a voucher for a half-price Cardinals ticket offer, restrictions apply. Additionally, participants will receive coupons for a free coffee at Dunkin Donuts, while supplies last, and have a chance to meet Fredbird at 10:30 a.m. Tax receipts for donations will be available.
- With the event taking place on Earth Day, MERS/Goodwill and the St. Louis Cardinals are helping solve the problem of used electronics disposal for the third year in a row. The rapid advancement of modern technology is causing many devices to become obsolete, and disposing of these unwanted electronics can be expensive and harmful to the environment.
- All items will be accepted free of charge, and donors do not need to sort their items prior to dropping them off. Computers and computer accessories, phones (home and cell), clocks, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, AV equipment including cable and satellite boxes, and any device with a cord, plug or battery will be accepted.
