Brooklyn Park Xfinity Store Hosts April 22 Electronics Recycling Event

4:20 PM | Friday, April 21, 2023

Anyone with old electronics lying around the house can dispose of them during a special event on Saturday, while also helping out a good cause.

Laptops, tablets, computer towers and keyboards are just a few of the items being accepted at the Brooklyn Park Xfinity store on Saturday for a special electronics recycling event.

Comcast has partnered with Minnesota Tech for Success for the Earth Day event. The Minneapolis nonprofit plans to refurbish the donated electronics and provide them to schools and other nonprofits throughout the state for little or no cost.

“By taking these donations and refurbishing them, we’re able to provide them to schools and students who may not otherwise have access,” said Emmy Frederickson, the director of sales and marketing for Minnesota Tech for Success. “Additionally we like to provide for people who are seeking employment.”

Saturday’s event goes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to the Brooklyn Park Xfinity location, people can also go to Xfinity stores at Ridgedale, Edina and Woodbury.
