Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, November 7, 2026 — Knox County residents have an opportunity to dispose of outdated digital devices responsibly. The county is organizing a digital device collection event, offering a convenient way to donate old computers, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets.
The collection point for these electronic items will be the Knox County Extension Office, located in Galesburg. The specific date and time for this event were not provided in the summary.
