Players for the Planet is proud to have joined forces with Global Environmental Services and some of Cincinnati’s leading corporations to bring attention to this community wide effort.
On Thursday, April 22 (Earth Day) and Saturday, April 24, the public is encouraged to come to the Kroger locations in greater Cincinnati with their electronic waste items for recycling. These include televisions, radios, computer monitors, hard drives and parts and all other electronic items.
Volunteers from the various companies and environmental organizations will stand alongside Chris Dickerson and other Reds players to collect items from the public, sign autographs, and provide information for individuals to make their own environmental changes at home, work and school.
A contribution of $5 per car for Players for the Planet is suggested.
Donors can enter a raffle to win lunch for two with Chris Dickerson and a Reds teammate at the Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse.
Following the two-day event, Global Environmental Services will recycle the items and turn the profits into a cash donation to Players for the Planet that will be reinvested into environmental education programs for youths and adults in the greater Cincinnati area.
