Recycle Used Electronics in the Ward 7 Community This Weekend

RLG holding electronics recycling events in the District of Columbia this year

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Reverse Logistics Group (RLG), in partnership with electronics manufacturers Acer, Canon, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung, and VTech, is pleased to announce 32 free consumer electronics recycling events throughout all eight wards of the District in 2024.

Getting rid of old electronic equipment is easy in Ward 7 this week. Reverse Logistics Group (RLG) will be in Ward 7 on Saturday, June 8 from 10 AM to 2 PM, to collect and recycle unwanted electronic devices.

RLG is a representative of some of the world’s most popular electronics brands. We’re working with the District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment to offer residents, small businesses and small non-profits in Ward 7 convenient ways to recycle old electronics.

Our collection vehicle will be located near the Fort Davis Recreation Center, on the corner of 41st Street SE between Alabama Avenue SE & Fort Dupont Street SE. Residents are welcome to bring electronic items in as-is condition to the truck – RLG will take it from there. By recycling together, RLG and communities in the District keep e-waste from going to landfills.

Items accepted for recycling include: computers, tablets, monitors, TVs, desktop printers, mice, keyboards, video game consoles, cell phones, and more.

Recyclers are e-Steward certified - that means, they use the best practices for safely recycling used electronic equipment.

RLG Director of Compliance Services, Andriana Kontovrakis is pleased that RLG is again able to offer free electronics recycling events in the District. “Building a circular economy is essential, and recycling electronics plays an important role.”

RLG also invites community members to reach out to info.us@rev-log.com for digital materials that promote these events and help increase recycling rates.
