Cook Inletkeeper is hosting our annual Electronics Recycling event and we need your help! The event will take place on Saturday, October 3rd from 10am to 2pm at Spenard Builders Supply in Homer. We need volunteers to help collect donations, direct traffic, sort recyclable electronics, and clean up after the event.
Volunteers can work one of two shifts: 9:30-12:15 or 12-2:30. COVID safe policies will be in place and COVID safe snacks will be provided. If you are interested in volunteering or want more information, please contact Ariel at recycling@inletkeeper.org or (508) 728 -9399.
Americans upgrade their computer systems on average every 3 to 5 years. But what do they do with all those old, obsolete computers? Computer electronics contain hazardous materials, especially lead, cadmium, and mercury, and if dumped in a landfill, will release heavy metals and other toxic materials into the air and water.
Here at Inletkeeper we envision a future where we recycle metals, instead of creating new mines that endanger world-class fisheries, wildlife and clean water.
On Saturday, October 3rd, Inletkeeper will be holding our annual electronic recycling day in Homer & Soldotna. Sustainable Seward will be hosting their event on October 10th. This is an opportunity for people who have been storing obsolete or broken electronics to dispose of them properly. Households, businesses and non-profit agencies are encouraged to bring televisions, monitors, computers, laptops, keyboards, phones, cameras and more for recycling.
