The O’Fallon Jaycees and Adonis Recycling would like to partner with any local businesses to provide them with electronic recycling services year round when the time comes to upgrade office equipment. “We realize that not everyone can take advantage of the single recycling day and want to be able to provide businesses with a green and secure way to get rid of their old office equipment.” said Joe Freeman, President of the O’Fallon Jaycees.

Proceeds from the event will go to the O’Fallon Jaycees. The O'Fallon Jaycees is a non-profit organization for young professionals in the St. Charles County region. The mission of the group is to provide the opportunity for young individuals to develop the leadership skills, social responsibility, entrepreneurship, and fellowship necessary to create positive change.
