WREN Appliance/Freon Bearing/CRT Device Recycling Event

From date: 
Sat, 06/19/2010 - 9:00am - 1:00pm

Well the digital age is on us and your 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 $60,000 dollars for local organizations in a bit more than 3 years!

So clean out those basements, attics, garages and warehouses and bring your items down!

This collection will be held on Saturday, June 19, 2010 at the St. Barbara's Church parking lot,  138 Cambridge Rd in Woburn from 9 AM to 1 PM benefiting WREN (Woburn Residents' Environmental Network) and their projects and programs. A portion of the proceeds from these collections will also be used for a scholarship given to a Woburn High School graduating senior that will be continuing their education in the field of environmental education.  If you miss this event our next recycling date will not be until after the summer on Saturday, September 18th.
