Appliance/Freon Bearing/CRT Device Recycling

Wondering what to do with that old television, computer monitor or appliance that is broken, unwanted or unused and just taking up space?

Paul Medeiros has found and is working with a Massachusetts company that will collect these items at drop off sites set up throughout Woburn at various times throughout the year. This is an excellent opportunity to recycle these items at a minimal cost compared to the high cost associated with curbside appliance recycling programs and will also be a fundraiser for local organizations that will sponsor these events. Another good thing and possibly the best part of this program is that it is open to residents from any and all communities, not just Woburn, as well as any and all business entities. With your help these collections have raised over $19,000 dollars for local organizations so far. So clean out those basements, attics, garages and warehouses and bring them down!

This collection will be on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at the Hurld School at 75 bedford Road from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. with the proceeds going to the Hurld School for their programs. 

The prices are as follows:

Large Appliances like: Televisions, Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Freezers, Dehumidifiers, Stoves/Washers/Dryers, Dishwashers, Water heaters and Trash Compactors $10 each Computer Monitors: $5.00 each Small Appliances like: computers, calculators, typewriters, fax/copy machines, printers, telephones, laptops, cameras, video/audio/DVD/VCR, microwaves, toaster ovens, sewing machines and sink disposal units. $1.00 each

Additionally, they will take and recycle or salvage the following in any quantity for a voluntary donation: computer parts and accessories, plugs, wires, drives, parts of computers, cell phones, video games as well as parts and accessories or plugs and wires, DVD’s, CD’s and VHS tapes.

But do remember that vinyl records, DVD's, CD's, VHS and Cassette tapes can be donated to the local "Thrift Shops." One is located at the First Baptist Church (corner of Winn & Pleasant St. in Woburn Square) and collects on Thursdays 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. and another at the Trinity Episcopal Church (corner of Main and Davis St. in Hammond Square) on Fridays 9 A.M. to 2 P.M.
