Adams County Solid Waste & Recycling has once again teamed with ERI, the nation’s leading recycler of electronics and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company; to provide Adams County residents with a convenient way to responsibly recycle unwanted consumer electronics as part of the county’s Agricultural & Household Hazardous Waste Clean Sweep Event.

This opportunity for local residents to dispose of their unwanted electronics in an environmentally responsible way – free of charge – will take place on Saturday, May 6th from 8am to 12 noon at the Adams County Solid Waste and Recycling Center at 1420 State Hwy 21, Friendship, Wisconsin.

Electronics will be collected as part of a larger recycling event for the community as part of the annual “Clean Sweep” event sponsored by Adams County and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The electronics recycling portion of the event, managed by ERI, is free to the public.

Accepted items for this special program include computer equipment, televisions, mobile devices and other electronics. ERI, a certified e-Steward, observes all e-Stewards procedures and guidelines to responsibly recycle and securely destroy personal data on all e-waste.
