July 20: E-Waste Recycling Event in Chicago, IL
As films like the Eighth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival short, E-Waste, and other media outlets educate the population about the hazards of E-Waste, more and more organizations have started to take action. On July 20th from 12:30PM to 3:30PM, Chicago Machine Lacrosse (Chicago's Men's Professional Lacrosse team) is teaming up with the 30 Illinois Cartridge World stores to host an E-Waste Recycling Event. The event aims to encourage local consumers to refill, reuse and recycle cartridges and electronics. With this in mind, the event is accepting old cell phones, computer equipment, and more. All the E-Waste products that are dropped off at this event will be hauled away and recycled responsibly by Chicago Surplus Computer. Not only is this service complimentary, but participants will receive both a discount on tickets to a Chicago Machine Lacrosse game and a coupon for a free ink cartridge refill. This event will take place at Toyota Park, 7000 S. Harlem Avenue, Bridgeview, IL 60455.
