Do you need to responsibly dispose of old computers, televisions, and other items? Do you have medical equipment or video game consoles sitting around? Don’t be afraid! Simsbury Grange and Green Monster e-Cycling are co-hosting a monster-size tech-oriented recycling event on Halloween morning – Saturday October 31st, from 9:00 AM – 12:00 noon at the Farms Village Shopping Center, 244 Farms Village Rd, West Simsbury, CT 06092.
Members of the Simsbury Grange will be assisted by Boy Scouts of America Troop #76, based in Simsbury, CT. Troop #76 will help with on-site logistics and assist in unloading recyclable electronics. Please note that some Grange members and Boy Scouts may be unrecognizable due to Halloween costumes. Rest assured that no matter how spooky they look, all on-site volunteers will be happy to help you recycle. A $10.00 donation is suggested.
