will household batteries be accepted?
ReplyDeleteI also would like to know about household batteries, as well as lithium batteries. Also will you accept an old coffee bean grinder? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIs there a charge per pound for ewaste at this event? Or is it free with a suggested donation to GRINCH?
ReplyDeleteI am also interested in the answer to the battery questions.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone answer the question about "Is there a charge per pound or is it free with a suggested donation?" Would like to know before i load up my car & bring the stuff. Thanks
ReplyDeleteoddly, no questions have been answered about something so simple as 'battery's'. I also am wondering about flourecent lights. These things seem more of an concern for many households than the myriad of items listed above, yet they are not on the list, and numerous questions about them aren't answered. But bring anything that has informataion storage on it. No problem. Wonder who GRinCH is hot potatoe-ing this stuff to?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that I did not answer these questions! But hopefully this will help for the next event. Almost everything is no cost. The manufacturer bears the cost of recycling in PA now. We did, however, need to charge for air conditioners and for more than 2#s of batteries.We accepted some light bulbs and there was a small fee for more than 3 or 4. We will be doing this event again in April! We had a suggested donation list. Most people gave $10-$20 which is fully tax deductible and supports GRinCH's projects in the neighborhood.
