Break the Trash Cycle and Recycle!

Grab a Mug on Sunday Mornings

The Green Ministry is experimenting with providing mugs for your Sunday morning use. Pick up a mug instead of a paper coffee cup, use it and the return it to the cart. Keep one-use cups out of landfills and incinerators!

Recycling Computers

The Green Ministry encourages you to keep as many computers as possible out of landfills and incinerators and bring blessings to those served by Wings for West Africa and Workforce, Inc.

If you have a Pentium III or IV PC, please call (317) 846-2722 to make arrangements for pick up from your home or office. These computers will go to Wings for West Africa.

Non-working computers, printers and all other electronic waste can be brought to the Recycling Center in Central Passage. These computers will be donated to a not-for-profit, Workforce, Inc., who trains those recently released from prison to disassemble and safely recycle all the components. Workforce, Inc. is a registered electronic recycler with the Indiana Department of Environmental management and certifies it does not dump or discard waste material.
