You now have a number of options to consider. For
those that missed the announcement, the Waco City Council, during its December
3 meeting, approved elimination of the fees charged for recycling items with a
cathode ray tube, such as TVs and monitors. In addition, the Council
authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement for expanded electronics
recycling at the Cobbs Recycling Center! This program is for Waco
residents with out -dated or broken electronics. Now Waco residents can bring
in televisions and computers, printers, monitors, and other items at no charge
to the Cobbs Recycling Center on a year-round basis.
A second option, especially for electronics that are
still working, is to take them to the Goodwill Computer Works Store on 3332
Franklin Ave (http://www.wacocomputerworks.org/).
Goodwill takes these donations, restores what they can, then offers them for
resale to the community. This is also a great place to look for used but
functional (and cheap) electronics components while helping your community.
Wishing you all a Happy Holidays from MCC’s
Sustainability Committee
