Senior Village staged another fruitful Electronics & Hazardous Waste Recycling event on Saturday, March 30. With 22 enthusiastic volunteers dedicating an impressive 113 hours to the effort, the sunny day matched volunteers’ moods as they guided traffic, unloaded cars and securely destroyed items containing sensitive data. Hundreds of residents throughout SaddleBrooke eagerly contributed items for recycling, turning out in droves to take advantage of the event for all SaddleBrooke residents.
Cars and the occasional golf cart queued up well before the event’s 9 a.m. starting time, with old computers, smartphones, paint cans, batteries and other hard-to-dispose-of items in tow. This year, more residents than ever took advantage of the annual opportunity to responsibly declutter. A hearty note of gratitude goes out to the Senior Village volunteers who set aside their usual Saturday morning routines to help their neighbors clear out the clutter.
Months of preparation paid off as the event unfolded smoothly, with the line quickly moving thanks to HOA-2 Patrol on traffic control and Suburban Miners trucks and staff. This eco-friendly initiative is made possible through the ongoing collaboration between Senior Village and Suburban Miners, a family-owned e-waste facility. Now in its fourth year, this partnership highlights a shared commitment to environmentally friendly disposal practices and serves as a testament to Senior Village’s dedication to the entire SaddleBrooke community.
Looking ahead, Senior Village envisions a future filled with even more opportunities to serve the community. Whether that means recycling old electronics or providing free, monthly Music Matinees, Senior Village remains steadfast in its commitment to making a positive impact.
