Recycling Event on Saturday

Two locations will be accepting electronics for recycling from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. CPU's, speakers, fax machines, scanners, printers, keyboards, mice, cell phones, stereos and microwaves will be accepted free of charge. A $10 contribution is requested for monitors. No TVs are being accepted. All electronic donations are tax deductible and receipts will be provided. The event is also a project/fundraiser for a boy's youth club (although I've been unable to find out which specific one).
The press release says all hard drives are either erased in compliance with the Dept of Defense 5220.22-M disk sanitizing standard or are physically destroyed during recycling operations. Collected materials are handled in an environmentally and socially responsible manner with virtually no material being land filled.
Locations are the SAIC Parking lot (next to the new Y in Abingdon) at 3465 Box Hill Corporate Center Drive and St. Ignatius Catholic Church, 533 East Jarrettsville Road, Forest Hill.
Here at TAA we're excited about ridding ourselves of a giant computer monitor that's been taking up much space.
