Bring your old electronics downtown Saturday, October 29, 2022, to a free community E-Cycling Day sponsored by the Rotary Club of Indianapolis, in partnership with RecycleForce, a certified electronics recycler.

E-Cycle Day will be held in the parking lot on the west side of the Old National Center in their southeast quadrant at the intersection of North Street and Alabama Street, from 9 am – 1 pm, October 29, 2022.

Box up outdated electronics hiding in the closet or taking up space in your business’ supply room for Indy’s first free downtown E-Cycling Day. As RecycleForce employees unload old e-devices from your vehicle, learn from Rotary Club members how Rotary takes action to create lasting change around the globe, in their communities, and among its members.

“RecycleForce is proud to join forces with the Rotary Club of Indianapolis to help reduce the huge volume of outdated electronic waste in our city,” said Gregg Keesling, CEO of RecycleForce and a member of the Rotary Club of Indianapolis.

“Partnering with RecycleForce helps our city reduce e-waste safely, supports a Rotary Club member’s not-for-profit agency, and raises awareness for Rotary membership, all at the same time. It’s what Rotarians do,” said Jenny Dexter, president of the Rotary Club of Indianapolis.

While at the event, take a moment to learn more about how Rotary makes a positive difference in our communities through service projects, networking activities, corporate memberships, and one-on-one mentoring.
