Southwestern Electric will host an e-cycling drive at its St. Jacob office on Saturday, Oct. 3. Collection begins at 9 a.m. and ends at noon or when the truck is filled, whichever comes first. Electronics collected during the drive will be e-cycled by an EPA-approved recycling center.
E-cycling, or electronics recycling, is the process of refurbishing, redistributing and reusing electronic devices and components, rather than discarding them. It extends the lifecycle of electronics and lowers their overall environmental impact.
Three members of Southwestern Electric were elected to the co-op’s board of directors during Southwestern’s 88th Annual Meeting of Members, held Saturday, Sept. 12, at the American Farm Heritage Museum in Greenville.
Southwestern Electric is planning six Members in Action town hall-style meetings across its service area in the coming weeks to discuss energy demand, how it affects members and ways to save money.
