RECYCLE YOUR ELECTRONICS AND TEXTILES AT THE REFUGE RECYCLE ROUND UP
​

Oak Harbor, Ohio — Have outdated electronics or clothing items that are still usable or in rough shape? Take them to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, June 11 (10 am – 2pm) for the Refuge Recycle Round Up.
 
Electronics items accepted include: computers/servers, keyboards and mice, monitors/displays, cell phones, storage devices/flash drives, video game consoles, printers, scanners, memory/RAM, networking hardware, stereo equipment/speakers, and projectors (no TVs/ CRT monitors). Textile items accepted include anything made from cloth or artificial fabric like vinyl. Nearly all textiles can be recycled, such as: clothing (pants, jeans, skirts, dresses, suits, shorts, shirts, tees, tanks), outerwear (coats, jackets, gloves, hats, scarves), footwear (shoes, boots, heels, sneakers, sandals, socks, tights), undergarments (bras, underwear, slips, camisoles), accessories (hats, belts, ties, scarves, headbands), handbags (wallets, totes, luggage, backpacks, briefcases), linens (towels, sheets, comforters, blankets, tablecloths). Textile items may be brought in garbage bags.
 
This is a fantastic opportunity to keep these items out of the landfill. Those wishing to participate may recycle their items for $10/carload (cash only). Funds will help to support conservation efforts at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge will receive cash per pound for recycled textiles, so be sure to clean out your closets for this great cause. This event will be occurring rain or shine.
 
Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge will be hosting the drop off location with the help of Recycle I.T. USA Toledo LLC and Clothes Bin Ohio.
