What do you do with that old TV or computer monitor after Santa brings a new one this Christmas season?



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
