Dunwoody residents can register now for the city’s Electronics Recycling Event that will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on April 6 at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church on Mt. Vernon Road.

During last year’s event, 470 residents recycled 31,414 pounds of e-waste. The recycled items included 225 laptops, 112 desktop computers, 98 hard drives, 2,649 pounds of LCD TVs and 3,031 pounds of printers.

“Year after year, Dunwoody residents show their commitment to sustainability by responsibly recycling their old electronics,” said Dunwoody Community Development Director Richard McLeod.

“This event not only keeps electronics out of landfills but also helps protect sensitive data with secure disposal. We’re proud to offer this opportunity and grateful to [the] city council for prioritizing funding for this event.”
