Out-of-use cell phones and cell phone parts can be dropped off for recycling at bins outside service agencies of the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) around the country today and tomorrow, according to a statement from ICE.
ICE plans to collect these electronic wastes and send them to be recycled outside of the country, since Costa Rica does not have the equipment necessary to process them, the statement said.
This recycling campaign is part of an environmental fair ICE is holding outside its central office in Sabana Norte, on the western edge of San José, in celebration of its 58 th anniversary. Talks and activities for kids are scheduled for today and tomorrow, beginning at 8:30 a.m. |
