At an E-Waste Event, our Partner invites community members to drop off any electronic devices to be appropriately recycled by The Junkluggers of Greater Dallas skilled team of junk haulers. The goal is to keep these items out of landfills and to ensure that they can be turned into new, functional products while keeping hazardous chemicals out of a landfill and our water supply. If requested, we can even provide certificates of destruction for the hard drives of any computers we collect!
Even better, our E-Waste Events cost you $0, so all you need to do is put in the effort to market your event!
We partner with community-oriented organizations and businesses to select a date, time, and location for your event. The partnering organization is responsible for the marketing of the event to their community, while we handle all the logistics, transportation, and recycling of the unwanted electronics.
The location should be at a site that is central to the community and will allow plenty of space for us to park our Junkluggers trucks with the container lowered to the ground, a sorting area, storage of the collected e-waste, and easy traffic flow.
