Community E-drop Events

WHY?

Electronic waste is harmful to our environment. When put in landfills, e-Waste can leak harmful toxins into our soil and water. You can help make a difference!

WHO?

Comprenew Environmental® is a Grand Rapids-based nonprofit electronics recycler. Comprenew’s mission is to inspire our community to live and work in a sustainable manner. We are offering you a convenient way to do your part by recycling your electronics at community "e-Drop" events in the West Michigan area. Most any item with a cord or battery will be accepted at no charge* and Comprenew will wipe all computer hard drives.  We are now accepting:

*TVs have a requested donation of $10 each. No refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, or large appliances please.
