Recycling Opportunity to Go Green


We have a golden opportunity this next month to get rid of old electronic devices which we have put aside in our garage or basement. They are gathering dust in our homes because we don't want to send them in to our landfills and yet don't know what else to do with them.
A local recycler AERC has made arrangements with our municipalities and Peapack Gladstone Bank to provide a special collection day on September 13, 2008 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. to accept computers,TVs ,Telephones,Printers etc. from residents.

We can bring them to the Administrative Building of the Peapack Gladstone Bank which is on Route 206 in Gladstone.They tell us everything will be recycled with a donation going to COTA,Children's Organ Transplant Association.

If you have defunct cell phones it is even easier to recyle .Rotary has several sites where they can be dropped off. They will be recycled and the money used by Rotary to fund a project which is focused on bringing clean water to villages in Africa and India. It is hard to imagine poverty so intense that sickness and death occur due to a lack of potable water.
Drop off your old cell phones at:

Coldwell Banker 21 East Main St. Mendham
Provident Bank East Main St. Mendham
Brookside Post Office Brookside

If you have more questions about the September 13th Recycling Event you can direct your inquiries to AERC at info@aercrecycling.com or 866-447-5177
