The Wayne Green Team invites all surrounding communities to its annual electronics recycling collection on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 8 to 10 a.m. (or earlier if truck fills up).
This year, the event is moving to a new location at the FNBO parking lot at 1100 East 10th Street in Wayne. Enter the parking lot from the west to unload, then exit to the east onto Hillside Drive.
Bring your old TVs, computers, cell phones, printers, cords and more to recycle right and keep electronics out of the landfill, where they can be hazardous to soil and groundwater. You can also bring VHS tapes, vacuums, blenders, toasters and kitchen mixers, but no large appliances, dehumidifiers, or batteries.
See the full list of acceptable items at www.cityofwayne.org/594/Electronics.
The Wayne Green Team suggests a donation of $10 per household or $50 per business load of reasonable size. Fees are $10 per tube TV and $5 per tube monitor (no charge for flatscreens of any kind). There is also a $15 fee per microwave.
Funding comes from the Nebraska Department of Water, Environment and Energy, with electronics recycling services by The Retrofit Companies. Volunteer support comes from the Wayne State College Men’s Basketball and Women’s Soccer teams.
Since 2013, the community has recycled over 188,000 pounds of electronics. Thank you for recycling right by bringing your electronics to the Wayne Green Team’s annual collection event.
