Great Parks e-Waste recycling event
Great Parks e-Waste recycling event
Great Parks is renewing its electronics waste recycling team-up with Cohen Recycling through a series of collection events coming to different parks through November. Collecting e-waste at these events will divert toxic materials such as heavy metals away from landfills, from which they can find their way into watersheds and wildlife areas.
There is no maximum number of items a person can drop off. Devices with a cathode ray tube, such as old televisions and flat screen TVs, require a $10 fee. The full list of materials that will be accepted is available on the Cohen website, and includes:
• Any item with a cord or that takes a cord
• Computers
• Cell phones
• DVD players
• Video game systems
• Telephones
• Remote controls
• Batteries
• Laptops
• Tablets
• Fax machines
• Keyboards
• Microwaves
• and many other items not listed here.
Light bulbs, wood, paper, cardboard, refrigerators and freezers will not be accepted.
