Cook Group to Host Electronic Waste Recycling Event in Bloomington


Cook Group will host a community recycling event for electronic waste on Saturday, April 28, to observe Earth Month. Cook is partnering with RecycleForce because both organizations believe in breaking down the barriers to employment that hold people back. RecycleForce is an organization that helps formerly incarcerated individuals rebuild their lives through workforce training, development, and job placement in their recycling facility.

"We are excited to collaborate with RecycleForce to bring this event to our community," said Pete Yonkman, president of Cook Group and Cook Medical. "RecycleForce provides life-changing workforce training that empowers individuals to reach their full potential."





  Who:   General public
 
When: Saturday, April 28, 2018 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
 
Where: 301 N. Curry Pike, Bloomington, IN
The event will be held in the main parking lot at Cook's newest facility.
 
What:

Household electronics such as TVs, computers, refrigerators, flash drives, and other appliances. View a complete list of items that can be recycled.


State law requires the safe disposal of e-waste because these products contain hazardous elements that can cause damage to our natural environment and public health. For more information about the event, visit bitly.com/CookRecycles2018.
