The Results
The Earth Day Event resulted in the collection of 4.29 tons of tires, 2.15 tons of electronics, and about 700 pounds of recycling (aluminum cans, plastic bottles, etc.). The recycling came both from the event itself (which was a goal of the event!) and what was dropped off at the recycling station.
