Target Launches Recycling Stations in All Stores

New recycling stations allow guests to deposit used beverage containers, plastic bags, small electronics and other recyclables at store.

Target has launched permanent community recycling stations in all of its 1,740 stores to kick-off a month-long celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day this month.

The recycling stations provide shoppers a way to drop off for recycling aluminum, glass and plastic beverage containers, plastic bags, MP3 players, cell phones and ink cartridges, and other materials. A full description of recyclables that are accepted is available at Target.com/eco-friendly.
