Residents, businesses, governmental institutions, schools and anyone else with unused electronic equipment are invited to a free and safe 1-day drop-off electronic recycling center at Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative (LMRE) at 1 Cooperative Way, Spencer, OH 44275 from 11a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 6. LMRE has partnered with PCs for People, a national leader in digital inclusion that offers a free certified, secure electronic recycling service and whose mission is to provide affordable computers to low-income individuals. Any usable computers obtained through this service will have the data securely wiped using a NAID AAA certified process. These computers are then refurbished for distribution.  

PCs for People accepts nearly all electronic waste - including computers, peripherals, monitors, cables, drives, and more. Technology does not have to be in working condition. You can see a full list of acceptable equipment for e-waste pick up at https://www.pcsforpeople.org/ewaste-pickup-and-removal/

The drop-off and distribution location will be in the parking lot of LMRE 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 6.  Look for the PCs for People truck to drop off your unwanted technology or acquire refurbished devices.
