LIBERTY, NY (May 17, 2011) – The 4-H Program brings back its popular electronics scrap recycling event on June 3 and 4, and this time, it’s free! Donations are welcome at a suggested $5 per carload for community members or $20 for businesses and organizations.

Participants can be assured of proper disposal of e-waste and data security – hard drives will be shredded.

Supporters will also enjoy the benefits of having assistance in unloading their equipment as well as a tax-deductible receipt for their donation.

Collection will take place at Cornell Cooperative Extension on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty.

This E-scrap recycling event initiates the 4-H Program’s 2011 fundraising efforts to make the Sullivan County Youth Fair an opportunity for all young people ages 5-19.

The Youth Fair, which will take place August 16-21, showcases youth projects in both animal and static exhibits, as well as offers a variety of activities for the public, residents and visitors alike.

Clear your homes and office spaces of unwanted electronic equipment and help your County’s 4-H Program.

Friday, June 3 is set to collect E-Scrap from businesses, schools, municipalities and institutions from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m.

Saturday, June 4 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., will be devoted to the collection of residentially generated electronics from homes.

Business/organization E-Scrap generators must pre-register by contacting Bob Travers at Advanced Recovery at 845-858-8809 or e-mail rtravers@advancedrecovery.com prior to the event.
