Prepare before you go
Before heading to the Fairgrounds, make sure to:
Material specific instructions:
-
Drain all items, such as yard care tools, of gas and other fluids.
-
Bag printer and toner cartridges to prevent ink leaks.
-
You’re responsible for wiping data from computers, phones, hard drives, and other data storage devices.
To help reduce wait times at the event, please:
- Unstrap and uncover your load while waiting in line.
- Remain in your vehicle while event staff unload your items.
What happens to the recycled items?
Scrap metals are sorted by property and sold to mills to produce raw material that are then made into new products. Electronics are either refurbished and given a second life or broken down into many different commodity categories and the precious metals are extracted. Read about 1 Green Planet's electronics recycling process and certifications on their website.
