Arlene‘s Earth Day recycling event was a big success! She poses in front of a partial selection of the offerings—there were many more tables of equipment! The equipment was taken to an organization which refurbishes computers and gives them to needy families. A satisfying win-win situation!

Yesterday was Earth Day, and today is electronics recycling day at our house. I’ve had a growing box of obsolete equipment for some time, because the last thing I want to do is throw that stuff into the landfill. Then my wife Arlene Baxter, Chair of the GREEN Council at the Berkeley Association of REALTORS®, organized an electronics recycling event at the BAR office. Here is what we recycled today:

Analog TV, scanner, laptop, firewall, modem, camera, floppy drives, serial switch and a bunch of cables. All obsolete. Don’t throw away, recycle!

My wife Arlene Baxter, a splendid realtor here in Berkeley, has organized a free electronics recycling event to celebrate Earth Day. Here’s your chance to easily dispose of the obsolete computers, cables, converters and printers that you didn’t want to throw in the landfill. The event is from 10-3 at the BAR office, corner of Martin Luther King & Cedar in Berkeley. Here’s a flyer with all the details. If you come between 10-12, Arlene will greet you with one of the GREEN Council’s special Eco-Bags, containing outlet & switch gaskets, a bio bag, CFL and lots of good info for further greening of your home and your life!
