Electronics Recycling Days in Liberty County are coming up on March 28-31. This is a great chance to make room in those crowded storage areas at home and at work. Donate a variety of out-of-date electronic equipment that’s been taking up space. We will have containers at drop-off sites in three locations open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.: Hinesville at the old hospital site on Highway 84, Midway at the Isle of Wight Solid Waste Convenience Center at Highway 84, and Gum Branch at the Solid Waste Convenience Center at Highway 196.
We can accept a wide assortment of items, including computers and computer accessories — keyboards, hard drives, printers, circuit boards, etc.— radios, CD players, eight tracks, CB radios, microwave ovens, fax machines, copiers, cameras and televisions. So take a look around because you may be surprised at how much out of date equipment you have. Technology changes so rapidly now that many items are upgraded every year. The recycling company we are coordinating with on this project makes every effort to recycle every component possible on the items that are collected. This saves needed landfill space and reduces the amount of toxins in landfills. So do something good for the environment, clean out your closets.
