The Sandy Springs Education Force will give community residents the opportunity to discard old electronics and help out the nonprofit organization at the same time.
The electronics recycling event will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19 at the North Springs High School parking lot at 7447 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.
Donations of $20 per car will help provide funds to support Sandy Springs Education Force’s STEAM, literacy, after-school and mentoring programs in schools in the city.
eWaste ePlanet will take electronics for a minimum donation of $20 per car to SSEF. Working and non-working items are accepted. All data will be wiped clean.
