Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (RIRRC) will host Rhode Island Recycles Day on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Central Landfill at 65 Shun Pike in Johnston. Rhode Islanders will be able to recycle the standard e-waste and hazardous household waste items, as well as a wide variety of other items ranging from rechargeable batteries and hard to recycle plastics to personal papers that need shredding and more.

“Rhode Island Recycles Day is a unique, once-a-year opportunity to conveniently recycle many of your hard to recycle items at no cost,” said Michael OConnell, executive director of RIRRC. “It’s a great, free one-stop shopping event for a host of recycling needs.”

The Call2Recycle Mobile Educational trailer will also be on hand at Rhode Island Recycles Day. The interactive trailer visits rechargeable battery and cell phone collection sites throughout the U.S. and Canada offering the opportunity for attendees to test their recycling knowledge and learn how rechargeable battery and cell phone recycling helps conserve natural resources. Visitors can also play games and win prizes.
