Fall Electronics Recycling Day is just two weeks away and there’s a new twist to the usual computer, cell phone, camera recycling.  TVs can now be recycled for $10!

Melissa writes in with the details from the ITP Freecycle group…

2008 Fall Electronics Recycling Day – Saturday, October 25 • 9 a.m.-1 p.m. – Decatur High School Parking Lot (Corner of N. McDonough Street and Howard Avenue)

Don’t throw away that old cell phone, camera or PC component! Save it
and recycle it on Saturday, October 25, 2008 at Decatur’s Fall 2008
Electronics Recycling event. This semi-annual event has been hugely
successful at diverting electronic equipment from landfills, where
they may contaminate soil and water. Batteries and Styrofoam will
also be accepted.

For the first time at this event, TV’s will be recycled for a minimal
fee of $10 cash only per TV set with exact change. There is no charge
to recycle other items.

In addition to electronics, any metro area resident can also drop off
batteries of any type, Styrofoam peanuts, and clean Styrofoam blocks
free of foreign objects.

Volunteers assist in unloading items. To volunteer, please contact
Scott Thompson at Scott.Thompson@Mindspring.com.

Almost anything with an electrical cord can be recycled at the event

*****EXCEPT microwave ovens *********
