July 11 designated as day to rid your no-good home electronics with fundraiser near Sequim

SEQUIM — Household electronics can be recycled at a fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 11.

The fundraiser by the Bluebills in cooperation with ECycleNW will be at the Sequim Valley Church of the Nazarene, 481 Carlsborg Road, Carlsborg.

All household items powered by an electric cord or battery are recyclable.

Bluebills will pick up large or heavy items such as televisions, refrigerators and other appliances at homes for a $10 donation per item.

Arrange for pick-up by Monday by calling Charlie Johnson at 797-1636 or e-mailing charliejohnsonbackpacks@gmail.com.

Pickups will be July 11.

The Bluebills will accept cash donations which will be used to pay for its membership with the World Vision Essential Supply Program.

Bluebills pick up goods every month from World Vision in Fife and redistribute the goods to schools, churches and charitable organizations throughout the Olympic Peninsula — more than 15 organizations.

Items accepted by ECycleNW include computers, monitors and related peripherals, televisions, audio and video equipment, hand-held electrical devices, lead acid batteries, rechargeable household batteries, clothes dryers and dishwashers.

ECycleNW will waive its usual $7 fee for microwaves and plastic-drum washing machines.

There will be a $7 charge for vacuum cleaners.

Items requiring a $30 fee are refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. These fees are required because the refrigerant must be fully recovered.

No fluorescent light bulbs will be accepted.
