This Saturday morning the 15th is Keep Vermilion County Beautiful’s free electronics collection event; 9 to 11 AM in the Danville Area Community College north parking lot. This is a chance to keep old televisions, monitors, computer hard drives, and more; out of our landfills; and have them taken apart for proper recycling. Keep Vermilion County Beautiful’s Douglas Toole says it’s a good idea to get their early because lines tend to get long. And there will be volunteers to direct you; and they’ll be collecting donations for future cleanup events as well.
AUDIO: Video game consoles, cable receivers, VCRs, computer accessories. But the big things we’re using this collection for is getting rid of TVs. Either flat screens; or those big old heavy ones. And same with monitors; flat screens or cathode-ray tube ones.
This is open to all Vermilion County residents, proof of residency is required. There is a limit to a maximum combination of four televisions or computer monitors.
