Electronics Recycling Truck

I talked with Ed Henry with Twin Valley Developmental Services regarding bringing a truck to Atchison for our event. He is the guy that comes through Atchison and collects electronics from BC once a year. He said he is going to check to make sure the date will work for him and get back with me.

His company recieves a grant from the state to provide the recycling service so this would be free to all individuals who bring their personal electronics to be recycled. If businesses want to bring their electronics though, they will have to pay a fee of $10 for TV's and $5 for moniters. Everything else they businesses can drop off for free.

He said that they will take anything electronic but people will have to fill paperwork out when they drop it off. I don't think there is much paperwork. So far, this seems like the best option. I talked to Brian Handke and he said that everybody that he talked to wanted to charge everybody to drop off items. Anyway, I didn't commit to anything with the guy and when he calls me back, I will post any new information that I get.

  1. People hate paperwork. You can drop off electronics for free on post at Fort. Leavenworth without having to fill anything out- why not just take advantage of a free resource already available?
