Electronic Recycling Pickup

Do you have electronics that you would like to donate for reuse or responsible recycling? If so, bring them to the rear of Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ, 2050 Periwinkle Way, between noon and 1:30PM. Please bring them in small cardboard boxes. Mike Peterson will wipe all personal and business data on hard drives and storage devices before giving them to Komputers for Kids. The remainder will be given to E-Scrape to be recycled responsibly. E-Scrape does not send anything to other countries or to landfills, where toxic heavy metals can leach into the air and water. The only electronics that will not be accepted are glass-screen CRT televisions and monitors, LED and LCD televisions, printers and copiers. (Working flat-screen tvs can be donated to the Goodwill at Big Lots Plaza on McGregor.) All kinds of electric wire, mouse and keyboards, laptops, notebooks, computer towers, battery backups, hard drives, flat panel monitors, lithium batteries, automotive batteries, cell phones, standard phones and phone equipment, generators, industrial switching gear, hospital and medical test and monitoring equipment, gaming devices, vcr, dvd, blu-ray and audio equipment, gps items, mainframes, circuit boards, automotive and industrial machinery and test equipment, electric motors of all kinds, routers, speakers, external hard drives, smart phones, florescent light ballasts, marine electronics, servers, video equipment, electrical switches, circuit breakers and panels, and starters and alternators will be accepted. Please join the Green Team of SCUCC and Bat Yam in our eighth annual electronic recycling pickup. For more information, contact jeanchandler2@gmail.com.
