The following electronics will be accepted: TVs, DVD Players, VCR’s, PDA’s, MP3 Players, Video Equipment, & Mobile Phones. Our primary goal is to reuse as much of the equipment collected as possible. If an individual piece of equipment in not suitable for reuse, we will try to harvest parts for reuse or we will send the equipment off for material recovery.
