ATLANTA, April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Natural Gas, the state's
leading natural gas provider, is teaming up with Lenox Square to encourage Georgia residents and businesses to drive down
waste by recycling unwanted electronics at their Annual Electronic
Recycling Drive. In honor of Earth Day, used electronics will be
collected at Lenox Square, located at 3393 Peachtree Rd.
NE in Atlanta on Saturday, April
20, from 9:00 a.m. to 2
p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

gadgets that end up neglected or improperly disposed of, posing
environmental risks. Donating at our Electronic Recycling Drive
guarantees responsible disposal of your unwanted electronics," said
Lindsey Jones, area director of
Marketing for Lenox Square and
Phipps Plaza. "Last year, we
diverted almost 30,000 pounds from landfills. This year, we are
aiming higher with the goal of diverting 40,000 pounds."
"At Georgia Natural Gas, we believe that every day is Earth Day.
Through our local partnerships, customer offerings and community
programs, we're committed to helping Georgia residents and businesses manage their
carbon footprint and create a sustainable future for
generations to come," said Maurice
