LG Teaming With NCAA, Others on E-Waste Collection Event at Site of Final Four

LG Electronics is teaming with the NCAA and the Men’s Final Four Indiana Host Committee to stage an e-waste collection event March 28 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, site of the Final Four, LG said Wednesday. Those who bring their e-waste to the event for collection will receive tickets to Final Four Fan Fest and, while supplies last, Final Four Green Team pins, said LG, which is an NCAA corporate partner. The event is being coordinated through RecycleForce, a 501(c)3 charity organization that offers “comprehensive and innovative recycling services while providing life-changing workforce training to formerly incarcerated individuals,” LG said. Items to be accepted for collection include computer components, home electronics, small appliances and home office gear and videogame consoles, LG said. Refrigerators and washers and dryers are among the items that won’t be accepted, it said. The two men’s semifinal matches of the Final Four are planned for April 4, with the final to be April 6.
