Electronic recycling of all types of electronics and appliances will be accepted. Charges will be $5 for most electronics, $8 for computer monitors, $10 for larger appliances and $20 for televisions (larger televisions, $25-30). Items accepted for recycling include computers, laptops, camcorders, phones, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers.
Paper shredding by the bag, box or handful will be on site with a state-of-the art mobile shredding truck by Pro Shred Inc. of Wilbraham. The shredding process will be viewable on site via a closed-circuit monitor mounted on the truck. A free-will donation is asked for paper shredding.
All proceeds will support the programs, ministries and community outreach of All Saints Episcopal Church.
