Upcoming Collection Dates
Just before the next Saturday county-wide collection, FBC’s Team Green will be doing an electronic waste collection on Friday or before. (The main Saturday event is usually crowded, so save your time, gasoline, and vehicle!) Check the calendar above for the next scheduled collection.You don’t have to be home at pick-up time.
We can get your stuff from your porch, driveway, etc. Please see below for the list of acceptable stuff, and gather it up!
How to sign up:
Please click the button below, or email the church office with your name, address, and phone number.
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.
