USF ACCEPTING OUTDATED OR BROKEN ELECTRONICS

The University of Saint Francis invites you to recycle your outdated or broken electronics at North Campus, 2702 Spring Street, on Saturday, October 31 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

All residents are invited to participate (no businesses, please). There are no fees, but cash donations will be accepted to support student environmental initiatives. One “carload” per person. The university has partnered with Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s most recently approved/certified electronic recycler, ACE Recycling, located on Ardmore Avenue in Fort Wayne. Action Environmental will once again donate transportation services.

Accepted items for recycling include personal computers, monitors, keyboards, laptops, mice, cables, computer printers, desktop fax machines, desktop scanners, desktop copiers, surge protectors, microwaves, cell phones, VHS players, DVD players, and stereo equipment (no TVs or appliances).
