Metro Public Works will host the first of three “E-Waste Collection Day” events on Saturday, March 28, from 9 a.m. to Noon at the MTA Park & Ride Lot at Coley Davis Road and Highway 70 South in Bellevue. Additional collection events will be held on Saturday, April 4, at the recycling center behind Hillsboro High School and on Saturday, May 23 at Dupont-Hadley Middle School, (1910 Old Hickory Blvd) at the same time of day.

Residents can recycle any of the following electronic devices:

• Small batteries (A, AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt, button)
• All sizes, types of televisions, VCRs and DVD players
• Cell phones
• Microwave ovens
• Stereos and audio-visual equipment

Only household waste (no business waste) from Davidson County residents will be accepted. Car and boat batteries, paint, tires, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and other hazardous waste will not be accepted at these drop-off events. These and other HHW items can be taken to MPW’s East Convenience Center, located at 943 Dr Richard Adams Drive (off Ellington Parkway and Trinity Lane). East Center is Metro’s designated household hazardous waste disposal site and is open seven days a week.
