CHICAGO, April 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Communities and residents of the Great Lakes basin responded enthusiastically to EPA's Great Lakes Earth Day Challenge to collect 1 million pounds of electronics for recycling and 1 million pills for safe disposal to keep contaminants out of the Great Lakes.

"We are very pleased that so many people have stepped up to accept the Great Lakes Earth Day Challenge," said EPA Great Lakes National Program Manager and Region 5 Administrator Mary A. Gade. "Communities have reported collecting more medicines and electronics this Earth Week than at any previous collections."

The EPA can report that well over 2,184,000 pills have already been turned in for safe disposal - more than double the challenge goal.

EPA also expects to far exceed its goal for e-waste based on 216,000 pounds of electronics collected at six events.
