Plug Into Your Community
An eCycle Event Benefitting Local Charities
Drive through. Drop off. Leave. It's that easy.
This free eCycle event collects old computers, laptops, parts, peripherals, and a few other electronic items.
All of these items have hazardous materials and should not be disposed of with your regular garbage.
This event provides the community with the opportunity to properly recycle these items.
There is not a fee to drop off your
recyclable items, but cash or check
donations are gladly accepted the
day of the event and will benefit the
Optimist Club of West Knoxville.
This organization provides labor for
the event and exists to help children in
the community.

Computer monitors and televisions are
hazardous because they contain significant
amounts of lead. Printed circuit boards contain
hazardous metals such as lead, chromium,
cadmium and mercury, with significant variation
depending on the board. Mercury-containing
components like switches and relays are found
in some electronic and electrical products.
PCBs may be found in televisions and
computers made before the early 1980s.
The OEA encourages residents to take
advantage of local recycling opportunities.
Recycling old electronic equipment keeps
hazardous materials out of waste and makes it
possible to recover resources. Recyclers
typically disassemble units, salvage reusable
parts, and send materials to final processors.
