The University of Toledo will help you get rid of those old electronics piled up in the basement or spare bedroom.

A community electronics recycling drive will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 22 in parking area 28, located off East Rocket Drive by the Transportation Center near the Dorr Street entrance to Main Campus.

Most anything with a power cord will be accepted at the event to be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

For those looking to recycle older televisions, there will be a disposal charge. Any older television less than 24 inches will cost $10, and sets 24 inches and larger will cost $20 to recycle.

The University is working with Affinity Information Management to recycle the items from the drive.

The e-waste event is part of UT’s Sustainability, Energy Efficiency and Design Program, known as SEED, and part of the University’s RecycleMania efforts. RecycleMania is a national eight-week competition that this year began Feb. 2 in which universities across the United States and Canada compete for the most recycled materials collected by weight.
