The City of New Albany has Earth Day activities planned for Saturday, April 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rose Run Park near Raines Crossing. We’ll have an E-waste drive where people can bring old electronics to be recycled. This will be a free event, and all IT material will be accepted. This includes but is not limited to: desktops, laptops, servers, network equipment, circuit boards, telecom equipment, hard drives, chromebooks, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, VCRs, DVDs, computer peripherals, tablets, LCD screens, CRT monitors, and mobile phones. We also collect CRT TVs (smaller than 35” only) and LCD TVs. Any data-carrying devices will be properly erased and disposed of.
We are also partnering with New Albany-Plain Local Schools on a BioBlitz using the iNaturalist app to document species in Rose Run. People will be able to participate in the BioBlitz from April 23 to May 8, whether they attend in person or not. They can document as many species as possible using their phone.
