Other notes
- After the main Public Works facility, on the left; follow yellow signs. No dumping outside posted hours. Bring help for heavy electronics because unloading help may not be available.
- Accepted: all TVs, computers, monitors, keyboards/mice, printers, fax/scanners, small servers, media players/recorders, cable/satellite receivers, game consoles, digital converter boxes, portable digital music players, cellphones, PDAs, computer cables and zip drives.
- No appliances of any size, air conditioners/dehumidifiers, microwaves, electric motors, kitchen gadgets, medical equipment, lamps/bulbs, gas cylinders, fire detectors, thermostats, liquids, fans, vacuum cleaners or physical DVD/CD/VHS/cassette media.
- Battery wording is imprecise: the town calls the excluded category alkaline batteries but puts lithium in its examples. Do not bring loose batteries to this electronics program without confirmation.
- These items are not collected with curbside bulky waste. The town separately points to the police department for cellphone/charger reuse; that is not the same drop-off entrance.
