Electronic Waste Recycling
From the West High School Green Club:
We wanted to let you know that the West High School Green Club, joined by teams from Memorial and Middleton, is hosting an electronic waste drive at Rennebohm Park on Sunday, January 12th, from 9am to 3pm to help recycle old electronics instead of sending them to the landfill. This is a great opportunity for everyone in the community to offload old technology. We will accept most e-waste, except very large items like televisions and ovens. Here is the link to some more specifics.
