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 $17000 dollars for local organizations in 2007. So clean out those basements, attics, garages and warehouses and bring them over to us and help a great local organization!

This collection will be on Saturday, January 19, 2008 at the Goodyear School  which is at  41 Orange Street in Woburn which is off of Montvale Avenue from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. with the proceeds going to the PTO for their programs.  The next collection after this one will be on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at the Hurld School  which is at 75 Bedford Street in Woburn from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. with the proceeds going to the PTO for their programs.
