On April 21, Mahaska County, Iowa residents were provided the opportunity to recycle their old electronic equipment.  Clow Valve Company, in cooperation with Mahaska Communication Group (MCG) and Midwest Sanitation and Recycling, organized an event called Earth Day e-Cycling.

The residents of Mahaska County publicized how residents could drop off their outdated electronic equipment such as computers, computer monitors, video game systems, stereos, keyboards, printers, VCRs, cell phones, and laptops to be recycled free-of-charge.  On Saturday, volunteers from MCG and Clow were on hand to unload electronic equipment to be recycled.

Within four hours, the recycling event accumulated approximately 25,000 pounds of electronic equipment for recycling according to Eddie Pierson, Mahaska Communication Group.  The outdated electronic equipment was then entirely recycled including all plastic, paper and glass, as well as metal.
