Who doesn’t have old computer monitors and printers lying around? We are always looking for the appropriate way to recycle these. And don’t even get me started on batteries and paint. What is safe to put in the trash and what must be recycled? Fortunately, Senior Village provides the answer with the Annual Electronics and Hazardous Waste Recycle event, which was held on Saturday, March 29 in the parking lot of HOA-2.
SaddleBrooke responded enthusiastically with about 360 residents delivering their goods to the event, which is supported annually by Suburban Miners, a Tucson recycling company. For a small fee, Senior Village volunteers helped unload vehicles and Suburban Miners hauled away more than five tall pallets of unwanted paint, pest control chemicals, cleaning supplies in addition to old computers, printers, TVs, small kitchen appliances and orphaned cords.
Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this event possible and to Suburban Miners for their expertise.
