• The goal here is to encourage community members to effectively and properly dispose of their batteries and electronic goods. Many people do not have the time or know how to properly dispose of these things, which can have negative effects on the environment.  

• This will allow people to properly recycle these sensitive materials in a way that is environmentally friendly. Making sure that electronics and batteries are disposed of properly is important for protecting the local environment. This event will take some work off their hands and hopefully teach them how to deal with recycling in the future.

TIPS FOR WHEN & WHERE
