Boys & Girls Club Appliance Recycling Event

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 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 $12,000 for local organizations so far this year. So clean out those basements, attics, garages and warehouses and bring them down!

The next collection will be on Saturday, October 20, 2007 at the Woburn Boy’s & Girl’s Club on Charles Gardner Lane, which is off of Main Street from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. with the proceeds going to the Club for their programs. If you cannot attend this collection the next one will be on Saturday, November 17th from 9-1 at the Woburn Senior Center on School Street with the proceeds going to the Senior Center programs.The last one scheduled for this year will be on Saturday, December 15, 2007 also from 9 A.M until 1 P.M. for the Woburn Breakfast Lions, location to be determined. Please watch the local newspapers and cable channel for more information.
