As part of a year-round commitment to recycling and the protection of the environment, NextStep Recycling will join with Wal-Mart to capture Lane County's obsolete electronics BEFORE it hits the landfill!

PASS IT ON! On Saturday June 30, 2007, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, all area Wal-Marts and nonprofit NextStep Recycling will work together to help Lane County residents easily and properly dispose of household electronics, stereos, VCRs, televisions, DVD players, handheld games, cell phones, and computers, including computer hardware, monitors, cables, calculators and printers. If it plugs in or runs on batteries, we’ll take it! NextStep Recycling is reducing its recycling fees for this one-day event. Here’s how you can take advantage of these great opportunities:
The one-day reduced fee electronics recycling extravaganzas will take place at:
1. Wal-Mart – 4550 W 11 Avenue Eugene, OR
2. Wal-Mart - 1040 Greenacres Road, Eugene, OR
3. Wal-Mart – 2659 Olympic Street Springfield, OR
4. Wal-Mart – 901 Row River Road, Cottage Grove, OR

RECYCLING FEES:
ALL ITEMS ARE FREE, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:

$5.00 per UPS battery backup unit (uninterruptible power supply)
$7.00 per computer monitor
$1.00 per diagonal screen inch charge for TV's
$40.00 ands up for console TVs

25 % of the weight of all monitors/TVs is lead. Lead is also found in UPS batteries. This requires NextStep to handle monitors/TVs/UPS batteries as a hazardous waste.

NextStep Recycling will accept cash or checks.
Lane County and surrounding area residents are urged to take advantage of these great opportunities to clean up their homes and properly recycle their old computers and other obsolete electronics. Items with reuse potential will be tested and cleaned (data eradicated from hard drives) before being donated to those who do not have access to technology. Our volunteers will recycle damaged and obsolete equipment at our facility.
