In partnership with Teknix Solutions, the City of Lawrence will be hosting a recycling event on June 21 that will allow Douglas County residents to dispose of unwanted electronic items responsibly.

The event will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive.

Acceptable items for recycling include laptop and desktop computers, printers, phones, small appliances, TVs, monitors and cables. The city noted Teknix Solutions’ staff will handle all equipment and ensure that data is securely destroyed or wiped.

Most items will be recycled at no cost, but a fee will apply for certain TVs and monitors. CRT TVs and monitors and projection TVs will be $40 to recycle. LCD TVs and monitors will cost $10. Payment must be made via cash, PayPal or Venmo.

The drop-off site will be on the east side of Free State High School, with access from Overland Drive between Wakarusa Drive and Folks Road. Staff will guide vehicles through the drive-thru process. People should remain in their vehicles during the event.

Additional information on the event, including a detailed list of accepted materials and directions to the venue, is on the city’s website.
