Alternatively in Amherst at Wildwood Elementary School per the Wildwood Wire e-newsletter: "Wildwood Electronics Recycling Day - Saturday 4/28 10 to Noon The Wildwood Elementary School PTO is sponsoring a recycling event that will keep electronic items that contain toxic chemicals (TVs, computers) out of the landfill and raise money for Wildwood school. The event will occur on Saturday 4/28/07, from 10:00AM to Noon in the Wildwood School parking lot on. Local residents and business are encouraged to participate as the disposal fees that are being charged by the Wildwood PTO are the same OR LESS than what residents would pay to dispose these items at the Amherst landfill. Two local computer firms, Valley ComputerWorks (http://www.valleycomputerworks.com) and Tech Cavalry (http://www.techcavalry.com) will be participating by recycling their unwanted computers at this event. This is the initial year for a planned, annual event that will enhance local environmental stewardship through creative solutions based on partnerships between public and private entities. There should be some good photo opportunities of families transporting and unloading items for recycling on that day. Some come on down and dump that old tube TV!"
