If Its Got a Plug, You Can Recycle it This Weekend!
Don’t throw away that old cell phone, camera or PC component! Recycle it this Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010 at Decatur’s Fall Electronics Recycling event. This semi-annual event has been hugely successful at diverting electronic equipment from landfills, where they may contaminate soil and water. Since October 2005 the City has collected 400 tons of equipment, which is then sorted and disassembled into raw materials or cleaned for re use.
There is no charge for most items, however, TV’s will be recycled for a minimal fee of $10 cash per unit with exact change.
DATE: Saturday, October 30th
TIME: 9AM – 1PM
LOCATION: Decatur High School Parking Lot (Corner of N. McDonough Street and Howard Avenue)

I always wondered if old TV’s could be turned into a retro style fishtank. Perhaps there won’t be demand yet, but it won’t be too long before we look back on CRT based TV sets with fond memories.
