Upcoming Collection Dates
Just before the June 21, 2025 county-wide collection, FBC’s Team Green will be doing an electronic waste collection. (The main collection event is usually crowded, so save your time, gasoline, and vehicle and let us take it for you!)
There are two options this time for collection:
- Drop off your items at the FBC garage on Sunday, June 15 from 9:30–11a, Thursday, June 19 from 8–11a, or Friday, June 20 from 3–5p. This option does not require signup, just show up and drop off your stuff at the FBC garage.
- Sign up to have us pick up your items from your house on Friday, June 20 between 9–11a. You don’t have to be home at pick-up time, just put your items out before 9a in an accessible location on your driveway or porch, etc. where we can get to it.
Please see below for the list of acceptable stuff, and gather it up! Thanks for caring for our environment and keeping heavy metals out of the local landfill!
How to sign up:
Please click the button below, or email the church office with your name, address, phone number, and list of items to be picked up.
Volunteers needed!
We also need people to help with various tasks to make this run well:
- Receive e-junk at the FBC garage (Sunday, June 15 from 9:30–11a, Thursday, June 19 from 8–11a, or Friday, June 20 from 3–5p.)
- Ride along and pick up e-junk from homes (Fri. June 20 between 9–11a)
- Help load a truck (times TBD)
If you can help, please click the “Volunteers” button below and complete the form, or contact Marylee Southard or the church office.
Some quick guidelines:
- No amount is too small! Gather up your old small appliances (lamps, recording gadgets, motorized toys, electric kitchen devices, printers, laptops, etc.) and if you have them, their cables and connectors!
- Attach your device’s cable or connector to it, if you have it.
- Remove all bulbs and batteries from your stuff if possible. (See the list below—they don’t want them.)
- Save your dead batteries and fluorescent bulbs—they go to the Household Hazardous Waste facility instead. And we can help you out with that, too! Get more info and keep an eye out for the next hazardous waste collection event HERE.
