Electronic recycling by Green Penguin will be located at the Galego Court area off Weeden St,  on the west side of the city, from 9:00am - 2:30 pm. Anyone can drop-off their unused electronics - including batteries and software - to the Green Penguin truck. There will be a table providing information on proper e-waste disposal, along with a couple of different take-home reminders.

Items accepted and non-accepted are also located on the Green Penguin website: www.gpenguin.com/about/accepted.

Green Penguin has created multiple partnerships with groups in the last few months with plans of playing a significant role in Rhode Island's team effort to create and maintain sustainability by promoting reduce, reuse, and recycling of every city's electronics waste.



Electronic equipment contains toxic materials, including lead, cadmium, and mercury that may leak into the soil and ground water when disposed of in landfills, which is now illegal in the state of Rhode Island. Green Penguin, Inc. strives to keep these and other materials found in electronic products, including precious and non-precious metals and plastics, out of landfills. Most electronic components can now be reused, recycled, and diverted from the waste stream. For example, approximately 90 percent of computer contents can be reused or recycled.

 
  Green Penguin provides data destruction, asset recovery, and environmentally-responsible e-waste disposal. Green Penguin's "No Landfill" policy ensures responsible disposal of all electronics including, but not limited to laptops, desktops, servers and phone equipment.  Green Penguin takes its "No Landfill" policy very seriously.
