Local residents can clean their homes of unwanted electronic items and appliances by bringing them to the City of Hazelwood\u2019s 4th Annual Recycle Day on Saturday, June 7.\u00a0 The event will be held in the St. Louis Outlet Mall parking lot (near the iceZone) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/span><\/h1>\n

This recycling event is free; there are no drop-off charges.\u00a0 Each of the vendor stations will be set up so motorists can pull up in front, have their recyclable items unloaded and then drive away.\u00a0 Those with personal documents to shred can park their cars and watch them get destroyed on-site.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecycling is an educational process for our residents.\u00a0 We want them to know that if we work together to reduce our consumption, recycle personal items we no longer need, and conserve our natural resources by reusing products, we can lessen the percentage of waste that ends up in our landfills,\u201d Ron Darling, chairman of Hazelwood\u2019s Green Committee, said.<\/p>\n

The City of Hazelwood is partnering with two new vendors, Midwest Recycling Center (MRC) and Mers\/Goodwill, for this year\u2019s event.\u00a0 They will be joining Allied Waste Services, Shred-It and the St. Louis Outlet Mall as participants.<\/p>\n

MRC Recycling accepts anything that plugs into a wall or takes batteries (even if they are broken.)<\/p>\n

Listed here are specific kinds of electronics they will be collecting at Hazelwood\u2019s event on June 7:\u00a0 computers; servers; desktop PCs; laptops; netbooks; keyboards; monitors; printers; modems; routers; cables; software; speakers; video and photography equipment; VHS\/DVD\/DVR players; laser discs; cable\/satellite receivers; stereos; boom boxes; CD\/MP3 players; cassette decks; microphones; mixers; adding machines; copiers; scanners; fax machines; shredders; video game systems\/catridges; cell phones and batteries; rotary\/cordless phones; medical equipment; power tools; small kitchen appliances; major appliances; microwaves; dehumidifiers; and lawn\/garden equipment (gas must be removed).<\/p>\n

As for televisions, MRC Recycling will only be accepting 1 CRT (glass) TV per vehicle.\u00a0 Additional tube TVs 27\u201d or smaller can be recycled for a $15 fee.\u00a0 Console, rear projection, and TVs larger than 27\u201d can be recycled for a $35 fee.\u00a0 There are no fees for CRT or flat panel computer monitors.<\/p>\n

Goodwill came to St. louis in 1918 and gained the reputation as \u201cthe original recycler.\u201d\u00a0 Their donation drives are always landfill free.\u00a0 Mers\/Goodwill will be accepting these items on June 7:\u00a0 furniture; case goods; books and games; CDs; athletic equipment; collectibles; antiques and giftware; household items; glassware and dishes; cookware; domestics; small electrical items; and tools.\u00a0 They are particularly interested in children\u2019s and baby items such as clothing, accessories and toys.<\/p>\n

Items NOT accepted at the Recycle Day event include the following:\u00a0 damaged upholstered or furniture items; mattresses and box springs; construction materials; fluorescent\/CRT light bulbs; thermostats; smoke detectors; pianos\/organs; batteries; tires; or hazardous materials like paints, solvents and chemicals.<\/p>\n

Both Shred-It and Allied Waste Services will be on-site as well.\u00a0 Shred-It will have two mobile shredding trucks available to help residents destroy their personal documents.\u00a0 With the growing problem of Identity Theft, it\u2019s important for people to find a way to get rid of their bank statements, credit card invoices, and other private papers in a safe, secure manner.\u00a0 Shred-It will provide this confidential service on the spot.<\/p>\n

Allied Waste Services will have two dumpsters for people to drop off their single-stream recycling items.\u00a0 The company announced recently that they are now able to accept cartons in their mix of recyclable materials.\u00a0 In addition to the traditional items residents can put in their recycle containers, cartons for milk, juice, soy milk, broth, soup, as well as other foods and beverages can now be included.<\/p>\n

Recycling has numerous environmental benefits.\u00a0 It conserves our natural resources, saves energy, and reduces air and water population.\u00a0 With the world population exploding exponentially and a finite amount of land mass where people can live, efforts are being made to reduce the need to add more landfills.<\/p>\n

Not only is recycling good for the environment, but it can be a vital economic development tool as well.\u00a0 Recycling creates jobs.\u00a0 The process of turning collected recyclables into new products creates a chain of economic activity\u00a0 that can result in business expansion, increased profits and tax revenue, as well as growth in the economy.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the City of Hazelwood created a Green Committee composed of resident volunteers, business leaders and elected officials.\u00a0 \u201dThe group meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at Civic Center East, starting a 5 p.m.\u00a0 Anyone interested in sharing green ideas is welcome to attend and become a member,\u201d Hazelwood\u2019s Green Committee chairman Ron Darling noted.<\/p>\n
