Community Electronic Waste
Recycling Event a Success: Last
Saturday’s electronic waste
recycling event held in the
church parking lot from 10:00
a.m. until 2:00 p.m. was a
resounding success. Metech
Recycling Company collected a
total of 2,068 pounds of
electronic waste, old desktop
and laptop computers, TVs,
printers, answering machines,
fax machines, and cell phones.
More than 95% of the component
materials we be responsibly
recycled and turned back into
the manufacturing stream. The
16 cents/lb. charge, special for
this event, was covered for the
first 2,000 pounds of waste from
funds raised by the Green
Sanctuary team.
