Intel Corporation will host a Technology Recycling Day on Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Ocotillo campus to provide employees and the general public with an opportunity to responsibly recycle used electronics.

A collection truck will be located at the Ocotillo Campus on the outer edge in the OC2 parking lot.
