MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) — The Superior Watershed Partnership has started a permanent location to recycle your electronic waste.

The SWP opened a permanent E-waste recycling collection site. E-waste includes televisions, computers, phones, printers and other similar items.

Kathleen Henry, Superior Watershed Partnership Special Projects Coordinator, says E-waste needs to be properly disposed of.

“A lot of electronics are made with some harmful materials that we don’t want to end up in the landfill or our waterways, so we just want to make sure that those are disposed of properly,” Henry said.

The SWP’s electronic waste recycling collection site is open on Wednesdays from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the new climate office at 519 N. Lakeshore Blvd. across from McCarty’s Cove.

There is a suggested $5 donation to help offset the recycling fee.
