Electronics Recycling Event January 26

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Missouri City Green's volunteers, the City of Missouri City, Missouri City Parks & Recreation Dept and CompuCycle (R2 Certified Recycler) our 6th Annual Electronics Recycling Event on Saturday January 26 was a HUGE success.

500 families participated and recycled 33,277 lbs of unwanted, outdated and broken electronics in 4 hours. Donated items will be refurbished, where possible, or broken down so that their valuable component parts can be put back into the manufacturing process.
Special thanks to those who generously donated toward future community clean up events.
