Fall Electronics Collection at Verizon Arena
The Regional Recycling and Waste Reduction District annual Fall electronics collection will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, September 28 and 29 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day at the VIP parking lot at Verizon Arena (formerly Alltel Arena) in North Little Rock, AR.
This event is free to businesses, individual households, non-profits, churches, hospitals, and schools in Pulaski County. All participants, except individual households, will be required to present a statement on letterhead indicating company/group name and the amount of electronics delivered or fill out an information statement at the collection site.
Items accepted are computers, monitors, printers, copiers, VCR/DVD players, televisions, microwaves, telephones, stereos, radios, paper shredders, and fax machines. Other electronic items will not be accepted.
Participants with large quantities (over 5 items) should bring materials palletized, in Gaylord boxes, or at least two (2) people to help with the unloading.
The District will not accept electronics from a business that accepts electronics for a profit. All of our drop off centers and collections are free and we cannot pay recycling costs for businesses that charge the public.
No materials may leave the site once dropped off. All of the electronics collected through the District’s events are properly disposed of and securely handled. No materials are given away or sold and all hard drives are destroyed.
Thanks to the citizens, businesses and organizations of Pulaski County, approximately 390,000 pounds of electronics from all special collections, almost 180 tractor-trailer loads, have been diverted from the Pulaski County landfills since 2004.
