Arkansas State University Mountain Home recently hosted a free electronic waste recycling roundup for the first time in the Twin Lakes Area, where members of the community were invited to drop off old computers, TVs, printers and other unwanted electronic items. Over the course of the two-day event, residents, nonprofits and businesses brought about 60,000 pounds, or 30 tons, of e-waste, which filled more than three 53-foot semi-trailers.
Volunteers from the city of Mountain Home, Baxter County, Baxter Recycling, Start 2 Start Recycling, Ozark Mountain Solid Waste District, Friends of the North Fork and White Rivers and the Mountain Home community at large helped with the event.
During this recycling process, hazardous waste was safely and responsibly removed from electronic items, metals and plastics were reprocessed and data was wiped in compliance with the U.S. Department of Defense's standards.
Baxter Recycling Centerm 1306 Rossi Road, accepts e-waste, as well as glass, cardboard, paper products and aluminum cans, which can be dropped off any time, free.
