The MVRCC will hold its 5th Annual “Easy to Be Green” Day on Wednesday, August 14 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Chamber building, One Chamber Plaza, Charleroi.
The following items will be collected:
• Electronics—computers, monitors, cell phones, digital cameras, chargers, adapters, microwaves, old radios etc. by Goodwill Industries of Southwestern PA. As of July 9, Goodwill announced that it can no longer accept television sets. The Chamber has no outlet to recycle or dispose of televisions so they will not be accepted under any circumstances. Any publicity about the Green Day event that has stated otherwise is now retracted.
Businesses wishing to dispose of a large number of computers can call Goodwill for a pick up - the Chamber has all the info!
• Clothing - used clothing will be accepted by Goodwill Industries of Southwestern PA
• Eyeglasses - used eyewear will be refit for people in need. (Charleroi Lions Club)
• Used Books - collected for JK Tener Library in Charleroi for their “book store” or on the free shelf.
• Paper - available on “Green” day and every day
The Chamber of Commerce and Green Day participants have the right to refuse items that are not acceptable for recycling. For more info, call 724-483-3507 or visit www.mvrchamber.org.
