Some of the devices that may be recycled at this event include personal cellphones, computer equipment, fax machines, laptops, lithium-ion batteries, printers, radios and other electronics with a cord or battery. A full list of acceptable electronics is provided on the Oscar Winski website. Computer CRT monitors, microwaves and televisions will be taken for a fee.

Items that contain refrigerants, light bulbs, non-rechargeable batteries or alkaline batteries will not be taken at this event. Dehumidifiers, freezers, refrigerators, coolers, PCB ballasts and university-owned property are not acceptable.   

The items collected at this event will be included in Purdue’s totals for the RecycleMania Tournament, which goes through the end of March.
