We hosted an E-Waste day today. And it was a great success!
This was an opportunity for our residents (and others!) to safely dispose of those electronic devices that were no longer wanted or needed.
Computers, monitors, TVs, telephones, batteries, turntables, the occasional toaster and I think I saw an 8-track!
We need to wait for the final numbers, but there were over 300 cars that came in, and the estimate was about 18,000 pounds or 8,000 Kgs! That’s a lot of waste that is being handled properly! Not being thrown out.
We partnered with Artex Environmental ( http://artexenvironmental.com/ ) who have a proven track record of responsible disposable of electronic items.
And, a big thanks to our Public Works crew for helping out, along with Amanda Newman and Betty DeBartolo.
And, of course, thanks to our residents for “pitching in”.
