After a week long dry spell (I'm an aide and school started up this week. So tired!) I got an email from my town saying they were doing their last electronics recycling event this Saturday. I had a pretty big pile started, but I was starting to feel hopeless about finding a place that would take it all. There are so many rules about electronics disposal nowadays,and even the places listed online, that said they'd take stuff, wouldn't take most of what I had.I even considered unethically dumping the stuff. 🙁
So, I was ridiculously thrilled to spend the wee hours of Saturday morning, in the rain, and loading my car up with ancient small appliances, a vacuum, 4 speakers, cords, phones, Christmas lights, wires, THREE dehumidifiers, lamps, and batteries galore.The car was packed! (My parents weren't hoarders. Why'd they keep all this broken crap?????)
By 8:15 it was all gone, and now I can work on my next project... hazardous waste (old paints, paint thinners, etc. Dad was a carpenter).
I can't believe I'm giddy about this!
