Hi – our block association would like to rally residents to bring their electronics to your recycling event — would that be okay?
Thanks!!

It would be fantastic!
Am trying to find a couple of people to transport my large TV to the site. Is there anything organized for pick-ups? (am also trying to volunteer at the site).
hi julia. email me (the link is here on the site) and let’s try to figure something out for pickup. and for sure all volunteers are welcome!
hi
i was just wondering, I have been looking for a flat pannel, ( screened() monitor for monthes, is there any way i can get a free one at one of these events>
s darby, you should check out Freecycle or Craigslist, where people are always giving away monitors. they are generally CRTs, but hey, they are free….
It looks like they are haveing a great turnout today (Sat.). We managed to get three apts here cleaned out with the help of a borrowed hand truck.
Thanks for helping get this organized.
