Electronics Recycling

Collection Day on April 6

Mayor Thomas P. Schneider announced that the City of Florissant along with Midwest Recycling Center (MRC) will be hosting an electronics recycling collection event on Saturday, April 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until trucks reach their capacity) in St. Ferdinand Park at the rear parking lot … rain or shine. Signs will be posted at park entrances to direct the people on where to go. The event is open to the public.

Acceptable items: working or not, basically anything that has a cord or battery; computers and all of their accessories, networking and telecommunications equipment, phones (home and cell), clocks, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, A/V equipment including cable and satellite boxes, home electronics, rechargeable batteries, fax machines, adapters/chargers, household appliances and lawn and garden equipment (lawn and garden equipment MUST have oil and gas removed).

Below are the fees that MRC has put into place to recycle these items:

• CRT Monitors – $5 each
• CRT TVs 26” or less – $30 each
• CRT TVs 27” or greater – $50 each
• Wood Console, True Big Screen/Projection TVs – $50 each

Payment can be made either by check or cash. Midwest Recycling Center will have equipment and employees on hand to assist in the drop off process. This drive has been highly successful in the past.

The Mayor encourages all residents to participate. Recycling conserves our natural resources, saves money, creates jobs, eliminates waste in landfills and reduces harm to the environment.
