On Saturday, Sept. 27, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Martha’s Vineyard Community Services will host the fourth electronics disposal day in the agency’s parking lot at 111 Edgartown Road in Oak Bluffs (across from the high school). This event has provided residents of the Vineyard with a location where they can take their old, unwanted computers, monitors and televisions. For a small, tax-deductible fee, the items are collected and safely disposed of, with Community Services receiving a portion of the proceeds.
Fees range from $1 for PDAs and cell phones to $5 for speakers, turntables and cameras. For $10 you can dispose of a PC, monitor, air conditioning unit, microwave, computers, notebooks, dehumidifiers, bubblers, CD/DVD players, VCRs, small refrigerator, printer, fax or copier. Most televisions are $20, and $25 for large wooden console televisions. For the first time we now will be accepting, washers, dryers and large refrigerators for $20 each. Cell phones are donated to Cell Phones for Soldiers, a group that has raised more than $300,000 to pay for phone calls home for soldiers in Iraq. There is no charge for keyboards or mice. There will also be discounts for carloads.
