Location: Asset Recovery Corporation, 2299 Territorial Road, St. Paul, MN
Ever wondered what could happen to your computer when you bring it to a recycling company? Concerned that electronic waste gets shipped overseas? Learn all about this electronic recycling company with a discussion and tour around the Asset Recovery facility. With the number of electronic devices being created each year, this part of the waste stream is growing.

A lunch will be provided by a local business using local foods.
