[Highland Park] Ways to recycle home electronics & other hard to dispose of items
Thank you to all the people who responded to my request for ways to recycle an old CD player. It turns out there are several options, and as many people asked me to share the findings, here they are. Please forward this list and help keep these items out of landfills! *Best Buy* (closest locations are Water Front & McKnight Rd) - Their e-cycle program seems to take the widest variety of home electronics and it's mostly free. There's a $10 fee for some TVs and monitors but they then give you a $10 gift card. The limit is three items per person per day. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/null/Recycling-Electronics/pcmcat149900050025.c?... *Construction Junction* (Point Breeze?) - They take many appliances, scrap metal, reusable building items, and many home electronics. For many items, they require a small fee. http://www.constructionjunction.org/pages/recycling-resources *Good Will *(all locations) - They take computers for recycling. There's contact information on the website, but not many specifics about the program. http://www.goodwillswpa.org/computer-recycling *The PA Resources Council *- They can direct you to places that take many home electronics, some for a small fee. They recycle tires for a fee ($2 each). For free, they also recycle (or perhaps recirculate for use when practical?) durable medical goods (crutches, walkers, canes, nebulizers, etc.; not prescriptions). http://www.prc.org/community_collections.html Stephanie
