Spring Electronics Recycling Day Set For April 10

The Rensselaer County Legislature will again team up with Troy business e-Lot to sponsor an electronics recycling day, and county residents are invited to participate. The electronics recycling event will be the fourth jointly sponsored by the County Legislature and e-Lot. Participation in the past electronics recycling days has been outstanding. During each of the previous three electronics recycling days, more than 300 residents participated, with everything from computers to refrigerators, stereos and VCRs.
The fourth electronics recycling day will be held Saturday, April 10 from 9 am to 2 pm in the upper parking lot of the Rensselaer County Office Building, located at 1600 7th Avenue in downtown Troy. Motorists attending the event are asked to enter the upper parking lot via Congress Street.
Residents can drop appliances and electronics for free. There will be a $50 charge each for televisions and a charge of $5 each for computer monitors. No wood console televisions will be accepted. While residents are able to bring appliances that contain Freon to the recycling event, they will asked to deposit the appliances in dumpsters themselves due to liability concerns.
For more information regarding the event, please call the EMC at 270-2888.
