Omega ECycles is proud to team up with York Traditions Bank, a division of ACNB Bank, and the York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) for a Free Electronics Recycling and Shredding E-Cycle Day.
📅 Saturday, October 18, 2025
🕘 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
📍 Luther Memorial Lutheran Church, 1907 Hollywood Drive, York, PA 17403
This one-day event gives York County residents an easy, secure, and environmentally responsible way to recycle unwanted electronics and shred sensitive documents, all at no cost.
♻️ Why Events Like This Matter
We all have that drawer or basement corner filled with outdated tech like old laptops, tangled cords, obsolete printers, and dusty computer towers. These devices may be out of use, but they still contain valuable materials and often hold sensitive personal information.
Rather than letting them pile up or risk unsafe disposal, events like this give the community a safe and sustainable outlet to declutter while helping protect both data and the environment.
If you have been searching for “free electronics recycling near me” or “electronics recycling York PA”, this event is your chance to take action right here in your neighborhood.
🧠 What You Can Bring
Bring your outdated or broken electronics, large or small, and Omega ECycles will handle the rest. Accepted items typically include:
- Laptops, desktops, and computer towers
- Printers, scanners, and fax machines
- Keyboards, mice, and cables
- Routers, modems, and small networking equipment
- Flat-screen monitors and peripherals
⚠️ Note: Some items such as CRT TVs, large appliances, or batteries may not be accepted.
🧾 Protecting Your Data, Not Just Your Devices
Every electronic device holds traces of personal or business data, even after you delete files or reset the system. Simply tossing electronics in the trash or selling them online can leave you vulnerable to data theft.
Omega ECycles takes data protection seriously. Every item collected at this event will undergo certified data destruction processes before being recycled. Whether it is a personal laptop or a business computer, you can trust that your information will be permanently erased or destroyed.
This same standard applies to all of our secure recycling services, which include hard drive destruction, data wiping, and electronics dismantling under strict environmental and data security guidelines.
💚 Greener. Safer. Smarter.
Omega ECycles believes sustainability and cybersecurity go hand in hand. Our mission is simple: to make it easy for businesses and individuals to do the right thing by responsibly recycling electronics and protecting sensitive data at the same time.
By participating in this event, you are contributing to:
- A cleaner Pennsylvania: Keeping toxic e-waste like lead, mercury, and cadmium out of landfills.
- Resource recovery: Helping recover metals like copper, gold, and aluminum for reuse.
- Data security: Ensuring private information does not fall into the wrong hands.
- Community support: Partnering with organizations that reinvest in local education and outreach.
Together with York Traditions Bank and YSEF, Omega ECycles is helping build a more sustainable and secure community, one device at a time.
🏦 Why We Partner with Local Leaders
Partnerships like this one are at the heart of what we do. York Traditions Bank shares our commitment to local impact and community connection, making them the perfect partner for a York-based recycling initiative.
The York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) also plays an essential role in enriching education across the region. By joining forces, we are combining environmental responsibility, financial stewardship, and educational outreach into a single event that benefits everyone.
It is about more than electronics. It is about empowering the York community with safer, smarter, and more sustainable practices.
🌍 The Bigger Impact
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. According to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the Global E-Waste Monitor 2024, the world generated about 62 million metric tons of electronic waste in 2022, and that number is expected to rise to 82 million metric tons by 2030.
By bringing your old devices to events like this, you are taking part in a movement to reduce that waste and recover valuable materials responsibly.
Since Omega ECycles handles everything through certified processes right here in Pennsylvania, you can be confident your devices will be processed safely, locally, and ethically.
