Electronics Recycling

Sony Electronics Inc. and Waste Management Recycle America held a recycling event at Gillette Stadium (the home of our New England Patriots) this past Saturday, Sept. 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m - bring any and all old electronics and drop off for free. Not sure about your town but our town charges $10.00 per item to dispose of electronic devices, i.e. TV's, computer monitor's, AC's, etc. We participated and brought (2) old televisions and (1) old VCR, pictured above.

We saved a few bucks, helped the environment AND there are (3) less items in my dads house to be concerned with, hooray!!

Recycling Fun Fact:

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 82 percent of the 2.25 million tons of old TVs, cell phones and computer products generated in the last two years ended up in landfills. By recycling old electronics products, useful materials – such as glass, plastic and metals – can be collected and re-used in the manufacture of other products. Since their partnership began, Sony and Waste Management have collected a total of 9.2 million pounds of electronic waste, and the companies anticipate that number will grow exponentially.
