Beginning on Earth Day, April 22, Arlington Heights Memorial Library will be collecting small electronics for recycling.

The library is working again with Recycling Avenue, a nonprofit company run by a group of physically challenged young adults wanting to make a difference in their world. All donated items are tax deductible. Forms will be on the bright blue bins near the Checkout Desk.

Accepted Items to donate for recycling include: Cell Phones, Laptops, Inkjet Cartridges, MP3 Players, Digital Cameras, Handheld Games, GPS Devices, Radar Detectors, eBook Readers, Graphing Calculators, Gold, Silver, and Platinum.

Items not accepted are appliances and computer monitors/towers.

During the month of May, the library will also be collecting used eyeglasses for medical missions to Third Worldcountries. Look for a drop-off box near the Checkout Desk. Learn more about this humanitarian effort at www.eyeseemission.org.

Any questions about the library's recycling collections may be directed to Linda Mulford at (847) 506-2628.
