Recycling: It’s not just for paper or plastics anymore.
This week is your chance to recycle old electronic items including tv’s, computers, printers, copiers, stereos, microwaves, cell phones and game systems.
These items, known as e-waste, often contain hazardous materials inside and proper disposal is important. E-waste usually contains high levels of lead, which is certainly toxic, and something no one wants seeping into our groundwater.
So here are this weeks dates for you to help yourself and the environment.
Thursday, April 15 Noon-6pm
Friday, April 16 Noon-6pm
Saturday, April 17th 9am-Noon.
The event is being held at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale, and if you need any more information, please call Robyn Reed, Director of Washington County Environmental Affairs and Recycling @ 479-444-1725.
