Verizon Recycling Rally

Bring in Unwanted Items from Home for Verizon’s Recycling Rally Apr. 14     

Bring in your unwanted electronics and other items from home to support Verizon’s Alpharetta Recycling Rally. This is a way for Verizon and its employees, customers and neighbors to actively reduce our collective carbon footprint.  This event will also be open to the general public so tell your friends and neighbors!

Recycling Rallies are part of Verizon’s commitment to help protect and preserve our environment by enabling employees to be “green” at work and at home. The supplier disposing of your items will adhere to Verizon’s zero-landfill objective, meaning the materials will be reused or recycled so that they do not end up in a landfill.
