WEEKEND: Household electronics can be recycled at fundraiser Saturday in Carlsborg

CARLSBORG — Household electronics can be recycled at a fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

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

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

Bluebills pick up goods every month from World Vision in Fife and redistribute the goods to organizations throughout the Olympic Peninsula.

Items accepted by ECycleNW include computers, monitors and related peripherals, televisions, audio and video equipment, handheld 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 vacuums.

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.
