Gun Lake Tribe sets recycling event for Sept. 5

Gun Lake Tribe has announced the date of its next electronics recycling event as Wednesday Sept. 5, from 10 am to 1 pm at the Tribe’s Government Campus headquarters near the Gun Lake Casino.

Acceptable items include office and household electronics, cell phones, radios, microwaves, VCRs and TVs, computer laptops, computer monitors, keyboards and mice, printers, speakers and power cords.  Comprenew will erase or destroy all computer hard drives.

“The Tribe supports electronic waste recycling because it is a growing concern to our environment,” a spokesperson said. “Electronic waste in our landfills can leak harmful toxins into our soil and groundwater.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to properly dispose of obsolete electronic items. Comprenew uses best practices in electronics recycling and data security.  Comprenew does not ship electronic waste overseas, and the zero-landfill policy requires that all electronics are recycled, refurbished or reused.”
