Electronic Waste and Styrofoam Depot Center
Old electrical and electronic equipment that are not recycled are dangerous for the environment, the quality of the air, the water and also for the health of people. Protect the environment and bring your items to Recycle Action. It's free!
In a landfill, styrofoam takes thousands of years to break down. It is therefore better to recycle it.
