FREE Electronic Recycling Collection in Mound: Shirley Hills Elementary School 4th Grade Class Fundraiser
Mound, MN – On Saturday, November 2, the Shirley Hills Elementary School 4th Grade Class will partner with Tech Dump, an electronics recycling nonprofit, to collect unwanted electronics (gently used, obsolete, or damaged) from 9am-1pm as a fundraiser.
Bring computers, cell phones, electrical cords, internal/external drives, other misc. electronic accessories, TVs, and monitors ($10-donation requested for CRT TVs and monitors—non-flat panels). Tech Dump will destroy all information and data at their facility in Golden Valley. Tech Dump is a Minnesota and Hennepin County licensed electronics recycler.
To find out more and for a list of accepted items, visit their website at techdump.org/shirleyhills.
The event will be held from 9am-1pm in the parking lot at 5293 Shoreline Drive, in Mound.
The class decided to host a Tech Dump event as they were “looking for a creative way to fundraise—and this seemed like a great way to earn funds to offset the cost for the Wolf Ridge trip. Students travel to the Wolf Ridge environment learning center in Northern Minnesota.”
