Verizon's Annual Recycling Rally Set for Sept. 26 in Ashburn

Unwanted electronics, including televisions and old computers will be collected during the event.

Verizon has planned its fourth annual Recycling Rally and will collected unwanted electronics at its Ashburn campus from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 26. 

The rally is free and open to the public. Verizon has a zero-landfill commitment, meaning the items turned over will be reused or recycled in some manner and not end up in a dump. Verizon employees collected nearly 80,000 pounds of waste during the company’s first three events.
