Electronic recycling from EFORCE, www.eforcecompliance.com |
Ask those who love me how I do with cleaning, and they may
reply, “Marcie has some trouble there,” or “Marcie’s place is a friggin mess.”
Sadly a major paradox of my life is that I love neat, tidy, and warm spaces and
yet I am thrown into a panic at the thought of cleaning. I avoid, I fret, I
poor a class of wine, maybe write a blog post… and I find better things to do than keep my home clean
and decluttered. Now there are several things that do end up helping me, one of
which is having the knowledge that things I get rid of will go to a new home or
be properly broken down and recycled.
Electronic
items often pose difficulty here, as most thrift shops won’t take them and I am
loathed to add them to waste in landfills. Happily, for those of us in Philly
and the surrounding areas there is EFORCE recycling. They accept and will
recycle any items that can be battery operated or plugged in. They sponsor
events in both the public and private sectors, and there are a slew of free collections
happening over the next several months! Notably, Whole Foods in Devon (April 28th)
and Jenkintown (April 129th)
will be holding collections this upcoming weekend, and WXPN will be hosting one
May 4th. Go ahead, declutter your life and rest assured your
electronic items are being responsibly recycled and broken down! Celebrate
Earth Day and your new freedom from electronic clutter!
Items EFORCE accepts:
Electronics, batteries, lamps, mercury devices, furniture
and equipments, paper, bottles, cardboard, and glass
