Old Computers And Paint, Be Gone!

Free Recycling For Old Electronics And Paint In Park Hill On Sept. 22 

Staff Report 
For the GPHN

Get rid of your old electronics and paint on Sunday, Sept. 22. For free. Yes, for free.

PCs for People is hosting a free electronics recycling event, from noon to 4 p.m. Drop off your no-longer-wanted electronics at the parking lot of Park Hill United Methodist Church, at 5209 Montview Blvd. Everything from computers and accessories, home entertainment equipment, service and data centers, mobile devices, and office items will be accepted and recycled for free. (CRT TVs, household appliances, light bulbs and fixtures cannot be accepted.) 

You are also welcome to drop off aluminum cans (preferably crushed). These will be taken to a recycler for cash. Proceeds will be used to fund future green initiatives in Park Hill. 

Also on Sunday, Sept. 22, volunteers from Green Sheen will be driving around Park Hill picking up unused cans of paint (five gallons or less) at no charge. To schedule a residential pick-up, call Green Sheen at 720-854-8722. 

Latex paint, oil paint, stains, shellacs, lacquers, sealers, varnishes, urethanes and textured coatings will all be accepted. Green Sheen cannot take aerosol paint, paint thinner, solvents, cleaning agents, drywall mud, roof tar or hazardous waste. 

Register to participate in either or both programs at least 48 hours in advance at tinyurl.com/RecycleYourIT. For more info text or call Jacqui Shumway at 303-725-7482. The event is sponsored by Park Hill UMC Green Team, and the Sustainability and Volunteers committees of Greater Park Hill Community, Inc.
