With Halloween coming up, it's a good time to consider what's lurking in the shadows of your attic or basement. Are there dusty old cell phones or tablets? Provided you've erased all personal information, you can bring those devices to our Carroll location and we would be happy to recycle them for you. Don't throw them out with the trash, since they often contain toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can be scary.
