Does anyone know where to recycle #4, 5, 6, or 7 plastics around Greenwood?
crusader10 : RE: Where to recycle More..
Two corrections:
1. The SustainIndy site is at www.sustainindy.org (not .com)
2. The City of Noblesville recycling drop off on Pleasant street accepts ALL plastics (or at least they did last time I was there, which, admittedly, was several months ago).

The Indiana Assistive Technology Act (INDATA) at Easter Seals Crossroads recycled old computers. We clean them inside and out, then give to free to an individual in Indiana that has a disability. We gave away 133 computers this past fiscal year. Laptops are especially needed for kids who are in school.
For more information on how to recycle your computers, visit: http://eastersealstech.com/conte...
Anyone in the state of Indiana can donate their computers to our Indianapolis location. We travel around the state frequently and can make appointments to pick up equipment.
