Know who's awesome? The NHTI Environmental Action Club.

Know why? Because if you have old electronics sitting around your house, you can bring them to NHTI, in Concord, on Wednesday, April 29, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and people will be there to take them off your hands and recycle them AT NO COST TO YOU.

(Well, okay, there's one cost, but it's just for TVs. If you have a plastic casing TV, you'll fork over $8, and if you have a wooden case TV -- does anyone still have one of those?? -- you'll pay $12. Not bad, considering that your guilt would be worth more than that if you tried to throw said TVs away. Plus, it's illegal.)

The “Not Just Computer Electronics” recycling event will accept computer monitors, laptops, CPUs, servers, CD rom/DVD drives,speakers, mice, keyboards, plugs, wires and parts/accessories of computers, copy/fax/scanner/printers, phones of any kind and phone systems, UPS (computer battery backup systems), camera/video/audio equipment, DVD players, stereos, VCRs, Walkmans, iPods and accessories, microwaves, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, hot water tanks and heaters, washing machines, dryers, stoves and dishwashers. Basically, says the club, all appliances that plug into an outlet are welcome.

Now, some of you may not realize what an AMAZING deal this is. Most transfer stations charge you to get rid of these things. So think of this as a green event in that you're also saving your own green. Plus, working items will be reused.

The event will be held in Parking Lot B at NHTI. For more information, call 271-7722. For directions, visit http://www.nhti.edu/.
