COMMUNITY COLLECTION EVENTS
Bring Responsible Recycling to Your Community
One event. Thousands of better choices.
Vireo Recycling brings convenient, educational recycling opportunities directly into communities through local collection events.
Our events give residents a simple place to responsibly dispose of disposable vapes, batteries, electronics, and other qualifying hard-to-recycle materials — while learning more about what happens to these items after they're collected.
Because responsible recycling shouldn't be difficult to find.
It should be part of the community.
What Is a Vireo Collection Event?
A Community Day Built Around Responsible Recycling
Vireo collection events are designed to make recycling convenient, visible, and engaging.
Residents can bring qualifying materials to a designated collection location, learn about responsible disposal, and connect with organizations working to make their community more sustainable.
Depending on the event, residents may be able to bring:
Disposable Vapes
Batteries
Small Electronics
Old Laptops and Phones
Accepted materials vary by event. Vireo will provide specific collection guidelines before each event.

Make Recycling a Community Habit
A collection event is more than one day of dropping something into a bin.
It's an opportunity to start a conversation.
To show people where their waste goes.
To teach families and students how to recycle properly.
And to give people a responsible option for materials they may otherwise throw away.
Let's Make Responsible Recycling Accessible to Everyone.
Host an Event. Sponsor an Event. Make an Impact.
