June 5, 2008 · Updated 2:40 PM
A community electronic waster recycling event is scheduled 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 26 at Christ Memorial Church, located at 18901 8th Avenue in Poulsbo.
Items accepted include TVs, monitors, printers, computers, copiers, stereo components, VCR and DVD players, telephones, household batteries and cell phones.
Collection fees range from $9 for phones up to $44 for large TVs.
Collected items will be disassembled and recycled into their component parts and resold to certified processors who adhere to U.S. export control regulations. About 98 percent of the material brought in will be recycled.
A portion of collection fees will be donated to a program that will bring Basque students from Spain and France to this area in July.
The event is sponsored by Olympic Printer Resources, Inc. of Kingston, EcycleNW of Sequim, Sound Publishing (publisher of the North Kitsap Herald, and Kingston Community News), Christ Memorial Church, Brenda Prowse & Associates and United Rentals.
