Westford Recycling Commission Electronics Collection

Saturday June 22 8am – 2pm at the Highway Garage 28 North St.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. CASH ONLY.

Wile it may not always be clear  what should be done with certain things, electronics is one of those things that should NOT end up in the trash. The Westford Recycling Commission (WRC) has an extensive list of how to recycle beyond plastics and paper.  You can now find them on Facebook. 

As of the last collection in March, fees charged have been reduced.  CPUs with mouse and keyboard, appliances without CFC (stoves, washer, and dryers) and cables are now free.  The fees for many other items have been reduced as well.  Check out the entire list here.

Over 30,000 lbs of electronics were collected at the last event in March.   TVs, CRT monitors and other "screen" devices still dominate the collection,  accounting for over 54% of the items collected.   Miscellaneous e-waste, without screens, came in second at 19%, and computers were third at 9%.  The rest of the items collected consisted of ACs, refridgerators, de-humidifiers, stoves, flat screen TVs and other corded devices.

Just load up your trunk, drive to the highway garage, pay your fees as your items are removed from your car, and be on your way.
