Electronics collection day is Saturday in Beverly

BEVERLY — The city's annual electronics collection day will be held Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at Beverly High School.

Residents can dispose of some items at no charge and other items for a fee ranging from $3 to $8.

The event was established by the city in 2005 as a less expensive way for residents to dispose of electronics. To place them on the curb for pickup, residents must buy a $20 sticker or pay $35 to $50 to have Freon removed.

The city has collected items from more than 500 Beverly residents each year at electronics day, according to the Solid Waste Management Committee, which organizes the event. The high school football team has assisted in the collection for the last two years.

Proceeds from the event go to those two groups and help pay for a police detail and advertising.

Electronics collection day

When: Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon

Where: Behind Beverly High School, near Patten Wing. Use Sohier Road entrance

Cost: $5 for TVs and Freon-containing appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and freezers; $8 for wooden TVs; $3 for computer monitors. No charge for computers, computer peripherals (drives, cables, etc.), printers, fax machines, telephones, answering machines, small appliances (e.g., microwave ovens), DVD, videotape and CD players, or radios and other electronic parts.
