The Vermilion County Health Department will hold an electronics collection event from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday in the north parking lot of Danville Area Community College for all county residents. Residents are encouraged to bring their broken, obsolete or unwanted televisions, monitors and other electronic items to the collection events so they can be recycled. Items such as cable boxes, satellite dishes, computers, computer peripherals (keyboards and mice), printers, copiers, DVD players, fax machines, gaming consoles, laptops, PDAs, scanners, VCRs, wires, cameras, clocks, radios, vacuum cleaners and fans will be accepted. Cell phones will not be accepted.
The event is jointly sponsored by Danville Area Community College, the Vermilion County Health Department, and Keep Vermilion County Beautiful, and is open to any County resident. Residents will be limited to a maximum combination of seven televisions or computer monitors at the collection. The event is free but donations to Keep Vermilion County Beautiful are greatly appreciated.
