The City of Fayetteville, Cumberland County and partner agencies will host an Electronic Waste Drive on Saturday, Nov. 14. The hours of the event are 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Vehicles can enter at Hay Street and Hurley Way (in front of Segra Stadium).
Participants will drive to a drop-off point where volunteers will unload your vehicle. Volunteers will wear masks and gloves. Each participant should wear a mask and follow state and federal health guidelines.
The purpose of this event is to help residents properly dispose of old or used electronic devices or accessories. Those items could contain toxic or hazardous materials. Proper disposal can help eliminate the amount of E-waste at landfill sites.
