Sony Electronics and Waste Management Recycle America are partnering to offer a free electronics recycling event at the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center on Saturday, August 23.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and consumers will be able to drop off any Sony products to be recycled by Waste Management. The first 2,000 participants will receive a free cloth tote.

Sony is encouraging residents to bring in TVs for recycling, especially ones that may become obsolete when the digital switch happens in February.
