ELECTRONICS RECYCLING GETS AN UPGRADE

Through a grant awarded by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service, Guilford County Community Environmental Programs, Environmental Services and the Material Recovery Facility are making a positive change in electronics recycling within the City.

The infrastructure funded by the grant will allow the High Point MRF to be a remote electronics shipping location in Guilford County. While this will not change the availability of the service for residents, it will make a big difference in the effort it takes to ensure that electronics are properly recycled. In addition, this will allow for a reduction in staff time, mileage, emissions and turnaround time on the back-end processing of electronics that are getting recycled.

The MRF is very excited to be a part of this effort and installed everything this week in preparation for this program adjustment. Residents are still welcome to drop off all electronics (anything with a plug) at the MRF at 5875 Riverdale Drive, MondayThursday from 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. or the electronics drop-off trailer at 3001 Ingleside Drive, Monday – Friday from 8 a.m.4 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
