Community Hospital North is hosting a "eCycling" event this Friday. The public is encouraged to attend and recycle any used electronics.

Here is a quote from the press release, the full release is here.

“This drive-through event provides a great opportunity for residents to dispose of old personal computers and other electronics that can harm the environment if not recycled properly,” said Ed Koschka, network vice president of information technology and chief information officer for Community Health Network.   “This is a major project for our employees to show their commitment to being green—and just one step we can take as a health care leader in the community to play our part in protecting the environment.”

This is a great chance to clear your house of old computers or cell phones, and help the environment.
