When you get a new phone, what happens to the old one?
If you’re one of those folks who just tosses it in a box or drawer filled with other electronics you don’t use anymore, Alpharetta is hosting an event just for you.
On Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to noon, the city and its Natural Resources Commission will host an electronics recycling event at the Alpharetta Department of Public Works office at 1790 Hembree Road.
The event is free and is open to all residents of Alpharetta and people who operate businesses in the city.
