Good Shepherd Hospital recycling event Thursday

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital near Lake Barrington will host an electronics recycling drop-off for the community from 2 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15 in the parking lot behind the barn at 450 W. Highway 22.

Acme Electronics Recycling accepts all electronics from computers and laptops to blenders and toasters, with the exception of TVs and monitors. Because the recycling process involves shredding rather than dismantling, all confidential information on computer hard drives is destroyed.

Acme is both ISO 14001 and R2 Certified, which means it follows a comprehensive quality, environmental and health & safety program ensuring all end-of-life electronics are handled responsibly.
