Decatur, GA — Decatur First United Methodist Church and New Life Technology Group are hosting an electronics recycling event on Sunday, April 30, from 1-4:30 p.m. at the Avondale Pattillo campus of Decatur First UMC, located at 3260 Covington Highway.

Here is a list of acceptable items:

– Computers and laptops

– Servers and modems

– Routers

– Phones

– Audio and visual equipment

– Computer Accessories
