INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Office of Sustainability and the Department of Public Works hosted another successful post-holiday electronics recycling (E-Cycle) event this past Saturday at Garfield Park. During the five hour event, 603 cars and bicycles attended, recycling 60,689 total pounds of material.
The City partnered with local nonprofit RecycleForce for the event. RecycleForce is a social enterprise that reduces crime and recidivism through re-entry employment and job training opportunities while improving the environment through electronics recycling.
In addition to providing a community drop-off recycling program as well as a household hazardous waste drop-off recycling program, known as ToxDrop, the City also occasionally hosts special eCycle events as resources allow. Three similar events are being planned for 2022; more details will be announced at a later date.
Residents can also recycle their electronics directly by utilizing RecyleForce’s daily drive through service at 1255 Roosevelt Avenue.
