The success we have achieved would not be possible without our community partners or residential support.”

The public is invited to bring old electronic equipment, which includes computers, printers, fax machines, TVs, toasters, radios, microwaves and cell phones to be recycled. Participants also will be eligible to win prizes during the event, including a grand prize 40 inch flat screen television.*
