Seaside United Methodist Church, 1300 Seaside Road SW in Sunset Beach, will be hosting its ninth Seaside Electronic Recycling Fair (SERF) on Saturday, June 15. This annual event will take place in the church parking lot from 9:30 a.m. until the truck is full, or 11:00 a.m., whichever comes first.
SERF is held in cooperation with Southern Environmental Solutions of the Carolinas of Peachland, NC. Don’t miss your opportunity to get rid of any unwanted items that have a plug and/or a battery and at the same time help our environment. This means if you can plug the item into anything or it has a battery, it can be brought — whether it works or not.
Just a few examples of items that will be acceptable are toasters, lamps, radios, TVs, VCRs, monitors, printers, computers, holiday lights, radios, extension cords, power cords, phones, computer mice, refrigerators, coffee makers, electric toothbrushes, ear buds, clocks and batteries.
SERF is a free event for the community. There will be volunteers from Beach House Recovery Center ready to remove items to be recycled from your car and place them in the recycling truck. This means a person can drop off items to be recycled and not even leave their car. There are no pickup or early drop offs of electronics accepted.
This is the ninth SERF for Seaside United Methodist Church and so far, just over 20 tons of electronic goods have been kept out of landfills and repurposed into useable goods. This recycling fair is for electronic goods only, so identify any unwanted or broken electronics for donation.
Note to recyclers: light bulbs will not be accepted at this event.
If you have any questions about what might be acceptable to recycle, call Southern Environmental Solutions of the Carolinas at (704) 272-0154.
