State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer has announced he will be sponsoring an electronics recycling event on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Jerseyville Community Hospital at 400 Maple Summit Road in Jerseyville from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
“This recycling event is a great opportunity for all of us to clear up the clutter in our homes and garages for electronics that cannot be included with our everyday garbage,” Rep. Davidsmeyer explained in a press release. “I encourage everyone to take advantage of this event. Also, if you have neighbors who do not drive, offer to bring their items with you on Saturday.”
Constituents can bring computer towers, printers, servers, switches and other technical equipment. Landline phones, cable T.V. boxes, cell phones, wireless modems, audio and video equipment, holiday lights, batteries, plasma, projection, console, CRT, and flat screen TV’s as well as computer monitors will be accepted.
Some items will not be accepted including radioactive materials, Alkaline batteries, light bulbs, smoke detectors, hazardous materials non-electronics like tires, wood, asbestos, office waste, furniture, fiberglass, insulation, roofing or dirt.
“This event is only for old electronics that are no longer in use,” added Davidsmeyer. “We cannot take things such as CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes or VHS tapes, but you might consider checking with your local library to see if they take these items that are in good condition for others in the community to enjoy.”
