E-waste once again collected at Prince Charles Public School

Craig Bakay | Apr 25, 2018

Collecting e-waste turned out to be such a good idea last year, the Parents Council at Prince Charles Public School decided to try it again last Saturday in Verona.

By 11 a.m., the bin was about half full and growing steadily.

“Chair Ali Williamson organized in partnership with KIMCO,” said Tab Morton. “It’s a fundraiser for the school and although it doesn’t bring in huge amounts of money, it does help, and out here, it’s a service that’s not really available.

“People like it and it’s convenient for the community.”

It’s a simple idea, KIMCO provides a container to which people bring their old computers, monitors, TVs, stereos and such for recycling, which KIMCO then picks up.

“It brings the community and the school together,” Morton said. “I like it.

“I live just up the street and it means I don’t have to go into the city and figure out where I am to recycle things.”

There was a wide variety of electronics being recycled Saturday. However, something to remember for next year — they don’t take coffee makers or blenders.
