The Athens-Limestone Recycling Center is sponsoring an Electronics Collection Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, March 14 in the back parking lot of Bank Independent across from the Chamber of Commerce building on Beaty Street.

Most items will be accepted free-of-charge, however, there will be an $8 collection fee for each cathode ray tube computer monitor or TV set (CRTs are the non-flat screen units). One fee will be waived in return for each bag of canned or dry goods brought to the collection. The food items will be donated to Limestone County Churches Involved (LCCI). One bag of food must be donated for each CRT fee waived.

Items accepted for recycling at no charge include flat screen TV sets and computer monitors, desktop computers, laptop computers, keyboards and mice, printers, scanners, copy machines, VCRs, stereos, radios, tape players, CD players, cell phones, telephones, fax machines, electronic games, power or network cables, switching boxes, modems, docking stations, CD ROMs, hard drives, printed circuit boards, routers, resistor capacitors, diodes and rechargeable batteries.
