Electronic Recycling Day

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2012





Did you miss the fall recycling event? City residents dropped off household electronic items such as computers, monitors, radios, fax machines, microwaves, and camcorders at a collection trailer parked at 3101 N. Boulevard on Oct. 20. (Our photographer even turned in her two broken coffee makers!)
 There was a $7 recycling fee for televisions, and the event had televisions in abundance!
 
The event was sponsored by the Richmond Department of Public Works and the Richmond Clean City Commission.
Recycling conserves natural resources, saves landfill space, and creates jobs for salvaging usable parts and metals for reuse. But better yet, it clears your home of dust-collectors and makes room for new technology that is more energy efficient!

Check out the RVAgreen Plan to see what the City of Richmond is doing to enhance recycling in our community and the Central Virginia Waste Management Electronics Recycling site to share with friends!
