Electronic equipment recycling event set for Saturday

PORT ANGELES — Olympic Kiwanis, in partnership with Friendly Earth International Recycling, will host an electronics recycling collection from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

The fundraiser will be in the parking lot at Civic Field, 307 S. Race St.

The following items will be accepted for recycling: computers, laptops, servers, printers, LCD monitors, LCD TVs, printer ink and toner, networking items, server racks, hard drives, circuit boards, wire, UPS battery backups, computer accessories, cable boxes, video game consoles, home electronics, MP3 players, cell phones, iPads and other tablets, video games, stereo equipment and miscellaneous electronics.

Organizers cannot accept appliances, tube televisions or monitors, projection TVs, batteries or exercise equipment.

The program has been endorsed by the solid waste departments from Clallam County and the city of Port Angeles.

Donated devices will either be fixed and resold by Friendly Earth International Recycling or disassembled for parts.

It’s recommended that personal data be wiped from the machines, if possible.

Proceeds will support Kiwanis programs for foster families, Camp Beausite NW for individuals with disabilities, the Kids Fishing Derby at Lincoln Park and working with teens through the Key Club.
