Opportunity to recycle old electronics July 12th

Chick-n-Little's picture

I know I'm always looking for ways to get rid of old computer parts and this seems like and excellent way to do it......

To encourage consumers to recycle electronic
devices in an environmentally sound manner, Sony Electronics Inc. and
Waste Management Recycle America are asking Worcester-area residents
to take action and recycle their old electronics Saturday, July 12
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester,
MA. Waste Management and Sony Electronics are sponsoring the event in
association with the College and the Worcester Tornadoes baseball team.

The drop-off location is at the College's Maintenance Building on
lower campus, which can be accessed by entering the campus at Fitton
Avenue, at the foot of College Street. The event will take place
before the Tornadoes' 7:05 p.m. game with the Nashua Pride that night.
Everyone who drops off electronics to be recycled will receive a
voucher good for a buy-one-get-one-free ticket at a 2008 Worcester
Tornadoes game.

I didn't see anything on there about it having to work, infact they kept refering to it as "electronic waste" so I'm guessing busted stuff is fine
