For the tenth consecutive year Kent State will compete in RecycleMania, a friendly competition and benchmarking tool to promote waste-reduction at more than 300 college and university recycling communities. The electronics recycling (E-Cycle) Drive and Shred-Mania are hosted by Kent State’s University Facilities Management, Human Resources and the Office of Sustainability. The public electronics recycling drop-off event contributes to Kent State’s standings in the RecycleMania competition.
Free Electronics Recycling and Document Shredding
The E-Cycle Drive will be held on Feb. 27 and March 6, 13, and 20, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kent State University R-17 Parking lot behind Starbucks between S. Willow and S. Lincoln Streets.
