Stellantis’ four Kokomo-area manufacturing facilities invite the local community to celebrate Earth Day, Sat., April 26, by bringing old electronics to their Electronic Waste Recycling Day.

The amount of e-waste is rising at a rapid rate, with a 21 percent increase globally in the last five years, according to the Global E-Waste Monitor. This amount of waste creates pollution and contaminates the air, soil, and water. Everyone can do their part to avoid adding electronics to landfills and protecting the planet.

A variety of electronics will be accepted, including personal/office computers (no CRT televisions or monitors), consumer electronics, office equipment, small appliances (no refrigerators/freezers or washers/dryers) and telecommunications equipment.

Items will be accepted from 8 a.m. to noon at the Kokomo Transmission Plant, 2401 South Reed Road. Collection will take place in the southwest parking lot, located at the corner of Home Avenue and Lincoln Road.
