Perfect timing. Our 16 year old TV just bit the dust over the weekend. Now I know where to take it.
just be sure & read the PDF, some items have a disposal fee. TVs = $10.
(Not to take away from this effort, but…)
Best Buy gives a $10 gift card to offset the $10 disposal fee. Lug that old tv in anytime.
I sure wish that a rags recycler would participate in one of these community events. I’d love to have a place to take the stuff that’s not fit for donation.
Tennis balls?
Lemme guess– donated to needy Labs & Goldies?
