The Wayne Green Team invites people from surrounding communities to their electronics recycling event on Saturday, Sept. 14.

The event will run from 8 to 10 a.m. (or earlier if the truck fills up) on eastbound Third Street, next to the Wayne City Hall parking lot.

Old TVs, computers, laptops, telephones, cellphones, printers, cameras, cords, keyboards, speakers, stereos, CD players, VCRs and more will be accepted. People also may bring vacuums, blenders, toasters and kitchen mixers, but no large appliances or batteries will be accepted.

To see the full list of acceptable items, visit www.cityofwayne.org/594/Electronics.

The Wayne Green Team suggests a donation of $10 per carload or $50 per business load of reasonable size. Fees are $10 per tube TV and $5 per tube monitor (no charge for flat screens of any kind). There is also a $15 fee per microwave.

Funding comes from the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy with electronics recycling services by The Retrofit Companies. Volunteer support comes from the Wayne State College men’s basketball and women’s soccer teams.

Since 2013, the community has recycled more than 174,000 pounds of electronics.
