Recycle Old Electronics

I was just sent a notice that they are going to have another recycling event in Kingston to collect old electronics. I have gotten rid of old or broken things this way myself. It is a great way to recycle old devices so that they are not just stuffed into some landfill somewhere. Here is the information.

Recycle your old electronics

400 Schwenk Drive (near Kingston Plaza), Kingston

Electronic Recycling

I don't know about the rest of you but I like to recycle everything I possibly can. But last fall I was having a hard time finding a place that would accept my old (non-flat screen) television. Finally I found Cheryl Schneider of Mac Works who does recycling events periodically in Kingston. I took the television to the event and it was no problem. They accepted it and hopefully now someone else is using it or at least the parts have been repurposed. Cheryl and Mac Works are sponsoring another event coming up in 2 weeks. Here is the information I received yesterday in an email. There is one day for business recycling and one day for residential. If any of you have old electronics you need to get rid of this would be the perfect opportunity! REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE!!!!!!
