Electronics Recycling Day

by Toxicboy on Apr.08, 2008, under business, electronics

I know, one mans old 486 is another man’s firewall or router, but there is a point at which it really is time to get rid of those old electronics sitting around, and that time is quickly approaching.

It’s time for the annual Keep Norfolk Beautiful Electronics Recycling Day, April 19th. Keep Norfolk Beautiful assists residents yearly with disposing of their electronic goods which can be nasty little time bombs in landfills.

Collection is between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. outside of the WHRO parking lot at the intersection of Hampton Boulevard and 49th St. There is no charge.

Here is a list of items that are acceptable:

Computers
Mice
Monitors
Cables
TVs
Personal digital assistants
Printers
Stereos
VCRs
DVD players
Video equipment
Scanners
Radios
Flat panel displays
Video game players
Copy machines
Fax machines
Phones
Cell phones
Answering machines
Tape recorders
Reel-to-reel tape players
Medical electronics
Surveillance equipment
Toasters
Microwaves

Be sure to destroy those harddrives, even in your old PDA’s. I recommend this method.

They should do it as a recycling exchange. If someone was actually dropping off a reel-to-reel I’d be interested
