On Saturday, March 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Rochester Lands trust will be collecting unwanted electronic items in the Town Hall parking lot, located on Constitution Way.

There, CRT Recycling of Brockton and members of the Land Trust will collect these items that CRT will bring to their Brockton facility for sorting for reuse or to be broken down for appropriate recycling of the components.

The following items will be accepted: CRTs (monitors/televisions), computers, network servers, large office computer equipment, CPU boxes, laptops, printers, fax machines, CDs, DVDs, VCRs, audio equipment, video games, disc drives, modems, cards, keyboards, computer mice, electronic wires or plugs, pc speakers, recording, surveillance or camera equipment, digital cameras, cell phones & accessories, LCD products, parts or pieces of computers as well as regulated and non-regulated appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, mini-refrigerators and coolers.

There will be $15 or $25 charge for televisions, depending upon their size/type and a $10 charge for monitors. These items require extra care in recycling due to their cathode ray tubes.

While there is no charge for other items, the Lands Trust requests a donation of $5 for other electronic items or bag/box of accessories and $10 for appliances and other large items. Funds raised will go toward protecting open space in our community. For more information call David at 508-763-5267.
