Fall Electronics Recycling Day 
Saturday, Sept. 29, 9 am-1 pm 
From Linda Harris- City of Decatur
SAME NEW(ish) LOCATION:
Decatur Public Works, 2635 Talley St. [MAP
Bring your old cell phones, cameras, PC components, and other outdated electronic equipment for recycling. Electronics dropped off will be sorted and broken down into raw materials and sent to recyclers for reuse. In addition to electronics, you may drop off batteries of any type, mercury thermometers and thermostats.

TVs may also be recycled for a $10 cash-only fee per TV with exact change. There is no charge to recycle other items.

Recyclables must be dropped off during the hours of the event. Early drop-offs are not possible. Almost anything with an electrical cord can be recycled except microwave ovens.

Note: We are not taking Styrofoam as part of this event. Check the Decatur Focus newsletter and TheDecaturMinute.com often for announcements about upcoming Styrofoam recycling and paper shredding events.
