Celebrate Earth Day with Goodwill by recycling your electronics and supporting a greener community
Got a drawer full of mystery cords? A laptop collecting dust? A printer that gave up years ago?
This Earth Day, Goodwill of the Heartland invites you to give your old electronics a new purpose at our E-Waste Collection & Recycling Event in Cedar Rapids.
By recycling your unwanted tech, you're not only clearing space at home — you're helping keep electronics out of local landfills and supporting programs that strengthen our community.
