YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Through a partnership between Goodwill Industries and GreenBoard IT, computers, tablets, phones and VCR/DVD players can be safely dropped off for free during specified dates at four area Goodwill locations – Austintown, Niles, Calcutta and the newly renovated Boardman store.

“We’re very excited to be offering an e-waste collection drive to the community,” said Shelley Murray, CEO of Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries, noting the next dropoff time will be from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 1.

Following the March 1 dropoff, another is slated for April 5. Items that will not be accepted include printers and televisions due to the expense of discarding them.
