Wyman School PTO Appliance, Freon Bearing, CRT, Electronic Device Recycling Collection

Wondering what to do with
that old television, computer monitor or appliance that is broken, unwanted or
unused and just taking up space?


Paul Medeiros has found and is working with a
Massachusetts company that will collect these items at drop off sites set up
throughout Woburn at various times throughout the year. This is an excellent
opportunity to recycle these items at a minimal cost compared to the high cost
associated with curbside appliance recycling programs and will also be a
fundraiser for local organizations that will sponsor these events. Another good
thing and possibly the best part of this program is that it is open to
residents from any and all communities, not just Woburn, as well as any and all
business entities. With your help these collections have raised over $120,000
dollars for local Woburn organizations with a portion going to the Woburn high
school scholarship fund!

So clean out those basements, attics, garages
and warehouses and bring your items down!

This collection will be held on Saturday,
November 16th from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. at Woburn’s Spence Farm located at 41 Wyman
Street, in Woburn benefitting Wyman School PTO projects and programs.
A portion of the proceeds will be going towards the scholarship fund for a
Woburn High School graduating senior that will be continuing their education in
the field of environmental education.





This
is the last recycling collection for the year and the next one will not be
until March 15, 2014!
