Daily Dose | 02/23/2026 11:00 am

Nature’s Nursery has teamed up with AIM ECycling, for the 7^th year, to offer Toledo area residents an earth friendly and secure way to properly dispose of old electronics. “E-Cycling For The Animals” will take place on Saturday March 21st from 10am-1pm at The Lucas County Rec Center, and offers an easy and affordable way to keep old electronics out of landfills, make sure your personal electronic data is securely destroyed and help Nature’s Nursery share their mission to care for local wildlife and their habitats.

There are more than 50 million tons of discarded electronics, also known as e-waste, produced every year. In the U.S. alone, more than 30 million computers are discarded annually, and that number shows no sign of decreasing in the future. The precious metals in circuit boards and other metals, including steel, copper and aluminum, as well as the plastic in exterior cases, can all be recycled from old computers, printers, telephones, monitors, cameras, game consoles, and other electronic devices reducing the amount of harmful waste in landfills. In addition, many of these devices store personal data and financial information that pose a threat of identity theft or worse if not properly destroyed.

“Nature’s Nursery is best known for taking in sick, injured or orphaned wild animals” stated Nature’s Nursery Executive Director Allison Aey. “But we also serve to educate the public on wildlife conservation including preserving natural habitats and environments. Aligned with our work to save these animals is also a need to make sure that natural resources are preserved and plentiful for both wildlife and people.”

With Spring cleaning efforts underway, E-Cycling For The Animals is a great way to securely and safely dispose of no longer needed equipment.

“Aim ECycling is a local Toledo company that has the highest certification for proper data destruction and recycling of electronics, ” said Aey. “Their R2 designation means they pass very stringent guidelines for minimal landfill waste and the highest secure handling of data destruction.”

On Saturday March 21st from 10am-1pm, area residents and businesses can drop off electronics at The Lucas County Rec Center, Key Street entrance, 1800 Key Street Maumee Ohio.
