CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Chillicothe residents will have a chance to responsibly get rid of old computers, phones and other electronics this weekend as the city partners with Goodwill of South Central Ohio and Ohio University Chillicothe for a drive-through recycling event.
The Electronics Drop-Off Event is set for Saturday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the parking lot of Ohio University Chillicothe’s Stevenson Center, according to the city.
The drive-through format is meant to let residents unload devices without getting out of their vehicles, and the event is open to area residents, the city said in a social media post.
Acceptable items include laptops, desktops, monitors, printers, scanners, cellphones of any brand, smart watches, cameras, hard drives, cords, chargers and batteries, among other electronics, according to a list provided by Goodwill. Residents are asked to remove any personal data from their devices before dropping them off.
The drive is tied to Goodwill’s Dell Reconnect technology recycling program, which accepts electronics of any brand regardless of manufacturer.
