The event will take place in the Elon Community Church parking lot from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All electronics collected will be donated to the Triad Goodwill.
Participants will receive a free piece of pizza for making a donation, while supplies last. For computers, Goodwill will erase all hard drives and remove information before reselling or demanufacturing for recycling.
