Wondering what to do with old, broken appliances? One solution to getting them out of your house is to drop them off at Spence Farm this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Former Woburn alderman Paul Medeiros has coordinated a series of appliance collections with a Massachusetts company. The collections will give residents the opportunity to recycle appliances at a lower cost, while benefiting local organizations.

The collection will benefit WREN and their programs. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the scholarship fund for a Woburn High School graduating senior who plans to study environmental education. The collection is open to all residents, not just Woburnites.

Over the last three years, more than $90,000 has been raised for local organizations and the WMHS scholarship.

Collection prices are:

• Monitor/Laptop: $5
• Television: $15
• Refrigerator: $10
• Water Cooler:  $10
• Air Conditioner: $10
• Freezer: $10
• Dehumidifier: $10
• Stove/Washer/Dryer: $10
• Water Heater: $10
• Dishwasher: $10

If you prefer to recycle items for reuse or salvage, you can bring it to Spence Farm on Saturday. For $1 each, the collection will accept:

• computers
• electronic office equipment (such as calculators, typewriters, fax/copy machines, printers, telephones) 
• consumer electronics (such as cameras, video/audio/DVD/VCR, microwaves and sink disposal units)

The following items will also be accepted for reuse for a "voluntary" donation:

• computer parts and accessories
• plugs
• wires
• drives
• cell phones
• video games 
• parts and accessories or plugs and wires, 
• DVDs
• CDs
• VHS tapes
