Heads up, Beaufort County! Free Electronics Recycling Event Coming Up!
Got a stash of old tech junk gathering dust at home? Time to clear out all those old gadgets because there is an awesome opportunity coming up to dispose of your unused electronics responsibly. Beaufort County is coming in clutch with a free electronics recycling event this weekend!
When and Where?
The event is all set to take place on the 24th of August, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It’s being hosted at two different locations – River Ridge Academy at 3050 Raider Drive in Bluffton and Beaufort County Public Works located at 140 Shanklin Road in Beaufort. So, no matter where in the county you hail from, there’s a drop-off spot near you.
What Can You Bring?
Okay, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what you can and can’t dump at this event. It’s all electronics, folks. This includes personal computers, laptops, CRT and LCD monitors, hard drives, printers, and those non-CRT televisions that have been replaced with smart TVs. Additionally, you can let go of any cell phones, tablets, and fax machines that are just cluttering up your space.
On the other hand, items that won’t be accepted at the event include microwaves, vacuums, stereos, speakers, tuners, VCRs, DVDs, and lamps. They’re pretty particular about this, so be sure to stick to the acceptable items list.
What to Expect at the Event?
Now onto what you can expect at the event. To prioritize everyone’s safety, the organizers have asked all attendees to remain in their vehicles while the staff takes care of the unloading. This means you won’t have to do any heavy lifting (phew!) or worry about any safety issues. Just sit back, relax, and watch as all that old electronic junk is taken off your hands.
If you want any more information or details, just dial up the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 843-255-2736 and they’ll be happy to help. Alternatively, you can check their website for the latest updates and info!
Responsible Disposal
Remember, responsible disposal is key to preserving our environment, so events like this are super important. Not only are they super convenient for us, but they also make sure that all recyclable materials get a new lease on life. Plus, it ensures that the non-recyclable stuff doesn’t end up in some landfill.
