On Saturday January 30th (snow date 2/06/10) the Concord Raiders Softball program will be collecting small items like cell phones, computers, TV’s and VCRs and large items like refrigerators and washing machines in the Raider Electronics Recycling Challenge. Location is 300 Baker Ave. (the old GenRad Building) parking lot. The goal of the Challenge is to help local residents recycle their unused electronics equipment. The Raiders will ask for a small, tax deductible contribution for this service to assist their program’s fund-raising needs. A detailed list can be found at http://www.raiderssoftball.com. In the event of bad weather on the 31st, the collection will be postponed by a week to February 6th.

The Challenge is a drive through process for people who wish to make a contribution. Raiders’ players will be on hand to inventory items and unload cars to make drop off fast and easy. The Raiders have teamed with East Coast Recycling, whose business is the safe collection and disposal of computers and all other electronic equipment. East Coast Electronics Recycling maintains a zero-tolerance electronic landfill policy. They dismantle computers and electronic equipment into the component materials so that the plastics and metals are recycled more effectively.

For more information call or email Jim Duval, 617-803-2696, duval1@townisp.com, or see our announcement on our web page at to see the costs per item to recycle.
