Electronics recycling made easy? Yes, that’s exactly what Queen Anne Elementary is doing this Saturday, April 27th from 10am to 4pm. Today is Earth Day, so take a look around your home, garage, basement, and attic and gather up any electronic parts and pieces for the electronics recycling event this Saturday.
Recycling your electronics at the QAE event helps the school fund field trips and community learning experiences. Plus, the electronics will be responsibly recycled courtesy of American Electronics Recycling.
Items eligible for free e-cycling include all types of computers and tablets, peripherals, printers, cables, cords, power supplies, telephones, AV equipment, cameras, small appliances, and more!
In addition, for a fee you can get rid of old vacuum cleaners ($5), TVs (price dependent on size, ranging from $15-$55), and CRT monitors ($30).
And, the event will also feature free hard-drive destruction. However, please do not bring air conditioners, refrigerators, florescent light bulbs, regular light bulbs or alkaline batteries.
See the site for a full list of items that can/cannot be recycled on Saturday at the school, and keep in mind that cash donations to the school are welcome.
