America Recycles Day is a nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. Held on and around November 15, America Recycles Day aims to educate and encourage individuals to be more mindful of what they consume and recycle correctly.
You can visit their facility during the event hours without registering. Their professional team will help direct you to the proper drop-off location. This event is open to all residents, whether nearby or from far away. Please refrain from dropping off any business or commercial electronics.
As always, please consider donating electronics in good condition to a friend, family member, or a charitable organization. Posting online to groups like Craigslist, FreeCycle, or Facebook is a great alternative to rehome your working electronics.
Please note that due to special handling and processing required by law, we cannot accept items such as household hazardous waste, appliances, batteries, and building and construction debris at this event. Vehicles with inappropriate material will be turned away.
EPA: America Recycles Day
On America Recycles Day (November 15), EPA recognizes the importance and impact of recycling, which has contributed to American prosperity and the protection of our environment. The recycling rate has increased from less than seven percent in 1960 to the current rate of 32 percent. Help us reach our current National Recycling Goal to increase the U.S. recycling rate to 50 percent by 2030.
The recycling efforts of communities and business throughout the United States help with this success and growth. To build on our progress, EPA encourages every American to contribute by recycling right, not only on America Recycles Day, but all year long. This means checking with your local recycling provider to know what they will accept in your recycling bin. Items like cardboard, metal cans, and paper are commonly accepted by local curbside programs, and items like plastic bags, electronics and batteries do NOT go in the curbside recycling bin. Visit our How Do I Recycle?: Common Recyclables to learn how and where to recycle these and other items.
