A variety of working and non-working electronic equipment including PCs, laptops, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, and microwave ovens will be accepted for a $5 fee per item (or per 3-piece computer unit). Cell phones and pagers will be accepted without a fee.
** Electronics from businesses will not be accepted at this event.
Sugar Land’s annual Earth Day Recycling festivities include a variety of recycling opportunities.
A recycle-for-reuse event will benefit the Fort Bend County Women’s Center. Donations of clothing and household items collected on Earth Day will be sold at the Fort Bend County Women’s Center PennyWise Resale locations. The revenue from sale of these donations will assist survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their children.
The Sugar Land Lions Club will be on-hand collecting used eyeglasses for its “Recycle for Sight” program, where used eyeglasses are distributed in developing nations.
Shred-It will provide paper and other shredding services. Residents may bring up to 5 copy-paper-sized boxes of materials, such as paper, computer discs, CDs, DVDs, computer circuit boards, videos and cassettes, to be shredded. Batteries must be removed. The shredded paper will be recycled.
During the event, the City will also be collecting a variety of plastics (#1 - #7) and aluminum cans for recycling.
