Electronics Recycling Event Update

Here's the info from Washington Area Humane Society's website:

Thurs., Fri., Sat. and Sun., March 19 - March 22, 10am-6pm

Washington Crowne Center and Tractor Supply on Route 19 are two of the three collection sites. Other locations still to be determined.

For 4 days we we will have three containers in different locales. Please contact businesses, schools, colleagues and friends to tell them about this important recycling event. Anyone needing to dispose of an electronic device should bring the units to these container for us to log for recycling.


The collected units are shipped to a warehouse in Pittsburgh, where they recycle the goods. Nothing ends up in a landfill, or in another country.

For every 100,000 pounds (minimum) that is received in the containers, WAHS receive $10,000.

This is the time of year when electronic devices are purchased, given, replaced and disposed of. Please call on businesses, friends and colleagues to collect and save their items for WAHS.

We will let you know as soon as the other collection locations are confirmed.
And please ... if you can volunteer some time on those collection days, contact Alice at wahsoffsites@gmail.com
