Prevail Bank Hosts Free Ecycling Events
19.7 Tons Saved: Communities Rally to Keep 39,518 Pounds of E-Waste Out of Landfills
Thanks to the incredible participation from our communities, a total of 39,518 pounds, or 19.7 tons, of electronics were collected and kept out of landfills during Prevail Bank’s free E-cycling events held June through early September. That’s the equivalent of nearly 9 midsize pickup trucks weighing 4,500 pounds each!
This impact is a powerful reminder that when we come together, even small actions can make a big difference. Supporting sustainability efforts like these is just one of the many ways we give back—caring for the environment and our communities isn’t just something we say, it’s something we do.
Prevail Bank proudly sponsored free e-cycling events open to the public. Community members were invited to bring household electronics—such as TVs, laptops, phones, printers, and more—to be safely and responsibly recycled. Partnering with a certified, non-landfill recycling provider, First Choice, ensured that materials were handled with care and that all data was securely destroyed. These events provided a convenient, no-cost opportunity for individuals and families to declutter while making an environmentally conscious choice.
In today’s digital world, electronics are part of nearly every aspect of our daily lives—but when outdated devices are discarded improperly, they often end up in landfills where they can pose a risk to our environment. At Prevail Bank, we believe protecting the environment that we all share is an important responsibility—and one that reflects our commitment to the communities we serve.
