Our commitment to recycling started in 2007 at our headquarters in Oskaloosa. With the help of our community partners, we have hosted what is now known as our Annual eCycle Event. This event, held in the spring, is a way for our community members to recycle their old electronics. This event has been hosted in Grinnell since 2022, and we hope to add Newton and Ottumwa to our future event locations.
To date, eCycle has prevented over 753,714 pounds of electronic waste from being placed in landfills, and 689,153 pounds have been collected in Oskaloosa alone!
To expand on our commitment to recycling, MCG’s battery recycling program started in 2016. We offer this free service in all of our communities.
Since starting this program, we have collected over 9,500 pounds of batteries. Each of our community offices has battery drop-off tubes that you can access during normal business hours.
We're committed to you, our communities, and the environment!
