Electronic Recycling Center now open in E. TX | Business

Folks in northeast Texas now have a place to get rid of their old or broken electronic equipment for free.

STS Electronic Recycling, the City of Marshall and Allied/Republic Services have started a new program called "Go Green In Marshall." The goal of the program is to keep people from tossing their old electronic devices in the trash, and ultimately out of the landfill. Most electronic devices contain some amount of toxic or hazardous elements, and there is a move across the nation to recycle electronic items in a more envronmentally-friendly way.

There are other electronic recycling service available, but many of them require you to pay to have the items taken away. "Go Green In Marshall" will take the electronics from you for free.

Electronic equipment can be dropped off on Tuesday thru Saturday from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Marshall Convenience Station, located at 2300 Five Notch Road just east of Highway 59.

You can bring the following electronic items to the collection site:
Cameras
Cell Phones
Computer accessories (keyboards, mice, cabling, etc.)
Computers (towers and laptops)
Copy Machines
Fax Machines
Monitors
Printers
Projectors
Servers
Telephones and telephone systems
Televisions
VCR and DVD players
