Head to the Nature Center
for a chance to clean house in an environmentally-friendly and
information-safe way! Staff from ComputerFox will be collecting,
dismantling and recycling your old computers, preventing the
hazardous wastes such as barium, lead and phosphorous from going
into our landfills. This safe method of computer recycling will
also prevent a rising cause of identity theft by ensuring that no
one has access to old information. In addition, representatives
from a paper shredding company will be on hand to shred old credit
card statements, tax information and other sensitive paper
material, providing proper recycling and identify theft security.
The Nature Center will also be accepting alkaline batteries (no
car batteries), used compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL), personal
printer cartridges, and cell phones for proper recycling. These
items contain chemicals which we will help to keep out of
landfills. We will also be collecting items such as winter
coats/hats/mittens, eyeglasses and clothing in good condition to
benefit local charities. What better way to recycle items you no
longer wear by getting them to those that really need them? We
will have a complete list of items that will be able to be
recycled. |
