7 Circle of Kindness Hosting Charitable Recycling drive

DAYTON, Ohio — We are excited to announce the first 7 Circle of Kindness community recycling drive with Charitable Recycling sponsored by Morris Home and Ashley.

You can get rid of technology waste and hard-to-recycle items in your home by dropping them off free of charge at the University of Dayton Arena, parking lot “A” on June 24th, 2023, between 8 AM and 1 PM. Please enter parking Lot “A” from Edwin C. Moses Blvd. to Arena Park Dr. and follow the signs for the traffic direction.

Charitable Recycling is a local nonprofit organization that collects items that can be recycled or reused to raise money for Dayton Children’s Hospital. Since 2012, the nonprofit donated over $32,000 to support the hospital’s operations, purchase new equipment and toys for kids, and contribute to the programs fully funded by donations, such as Canine Co-pilots.

Charitable Recycling accepts empty ink and laser cartridges, old computer equipment, electronics, appliances, and many other hard-to-recycle items. The organization follows the highest standards for data destruction (DOD 5220.22-m) offering destruction receipts upon request. All home items that can be reused are sold through the nonprofit’s Wicked Thrift Store.
