Electronics Recycling Event - March 19th



​Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Missouri City Green volunteers, the City of Missouri City, Missouri City Parks & Recreation Deptment and CompuCycle (R2 Certified Recycler) our 9th Annual Electronics Recycling Event on Saturday March 19th was a HUGE success.

Over 400 people drove through the line to recycle unwanted, outdated and broken electronics. Donated items will be refurbished, where possible, or broken down so that their valuable component parts can be put back into the manufacturing process.

Thank you to those who generously donated toward future community clean up events.
