Appliance Recycling

We welcome any resident, business or organization to participate in this program! We started this program as an attempt to diminish the cost of disposing of appliances and other electronic items passed on to the residents of the city of Woburn billed as a fee (but realized as a back door tax)but soon realized that this could be a positive project that could raise much needed funds for local organizations. This project has expanded to other communites successfully and has helped to effectively and affordably keep our and surrounding communities clean while at the same time protecting our environment, providing jobs in Massachusetts and raising the much needed funds by local organizations. Thanks for the support!

SCI benefited from the last quarterly recyclying drive. It is such a great win-win-win...helps the environment, local nonprofits, and helps clear out unwanted stuff from people's homes! If you missed the last one in June you should definitely try to round up what you have in your home for this one.
