Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 23, 8:30-11:30 a.m. for the ninth annual Dead Electronics and Appliances Recycling Drive at the Stockton United Methodist Church parking lot, 708 East Street in Stockton.
Most items recycle free of charge: computer towers, keyboards, mouse, printers/copiers/fax, battery back-up, laptops, tablets, cell phones/landline phones, cords and wiring, routers, WiFi-boxes, satellite receivers, VCR/DVD players, gaming systems, radios/stereos/speakers. Expect to know closer to the drive whether a shredder will be available to destroy personal information. Small household appliances such as: coffee pots, blenders, vacuum cleaners, clocks, toaster ovens, hair dryers, etc.; humidifiers, dehumidifiers. Large appliances such as: washers, dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, etc. Clean white pristine EPS foam packaging blocks and coolers (identifiable by small round beads molded together to form block or shape). No light bulbs!
Recycle for small donation: lithium-ion batteries for cell phones or laptops, small batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, all buttons); CDs/DVDs (NO cassettes or VHS tapes); flash drives.
We collect fees for these items that require special handling or processing: $25 for CRT monitor/TV under 26-inches, rear projection TV, plasma or LCD TV or monitors including those in wood cabinets; $35 for CRT TVs over 26-inches. Fees pass directly to the companies that extract toxic substances. Cash only, please.
Join our church family and the community of Stockton in promoting responsible reuse, reprocessing or disposal of thousands of pounds of items we no longer need or want in our homes.
The Go Green Team exists to promote caring for God's creation. We welcome others who share this mission.
Go Green Team member Janice Dunne is the drive organizer.
