Miscellaneous Info
Electronics Recycling
If you are looking for a place to recycle old CD-ROMs, computers, etc., look no further than Ohio Mulch on Roberts Road. A Glen resident also recommends donating old computers to Pastors for Peace, which will erase the hard drives and ship the computers to people in need in Central and South America.
