Join Integrated Building Systems for our 13th annual Earth Day Electronics Recycling Drive on Friday, April 25, 2025 from 8 AM - 2 PM at 950 Michigan Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215!
Help us keep our landfills clean by dropping off electronics for recycling and confidential paperwork for secure, professional shredding.
NEW THIS YEAR: you can also complete your spring cleaning by bringing small kitchen appliances, toys, clothes, or even some furniture for donation.
In short: have things taking up space in your home that you would like to see recycled or donated? Load up your car and bring them to this event!
Stay in your car for curbside drop-off! You will know you are in the right place when you follow the signs and cones northbound on Michigan Avenue toward First Avenue. When it’s your turn, our team will direct you to the right place to stop and we will unload your car for you.
Stop by between 11 AM - 1 PM and stay for lunch at Schmidt’s Sausage Truck!
