Saturday, May 19, the cleanup day and recycling drive will be held at Bangor Township Hall at 180, State Park Drive.

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Appleton, Wis. is celebrating the first anniversary of its “E-Cycle” program with Vintage Tech this month. Since the program began in May of last year, they have recycled 210 tons of electronics, which is equivalent to about 475,000 pounds. This program has allowed them to raise $12,000 for the Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity already. This will help them fund their mission of creating affordable housing for families in need.
Vintage Tech is happy to help raise awareness in the community, both for electronics recycling and for creating affordable housing. Thank you to the Appleton ReStore for partnering with us in this amazing program! For more information, check out this article.

This Saturday, we will be working with Interstate Batteries and Wheatland Township, Ill. to offer another free electronics recycling drive! The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their township office, located at 31 W 236 91st Street.
As a reminder, we will fully process and recycle all of the accepted items that you bring to us. These can include VCRs, DVD players, keyboards, mice, cameras, laptops, and LCDs.
Unlike other free recycling events that we host, on Saturday, you will be able to recycle your old batteries as well. Thanks to Interstate Batteries' involvement, you will be able to bring all types of batteries for responsible disposal. This will be a great event for those of you in the area to get rid of all those old electronics and accessories that you have been holding on to. We hope to see you there!

We are always happy to hear about people choosing to responsibly recycle their own electronics. When we helped host a recycling event with the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Appleton, Wisc., the event saw tremendous success!
The event took place the day before Earth day, and we were able to collect an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 pounds of electronics! This is more than twice the amount that we have collected in a past event.
Because the Habitat for Humanity ReStore helped us put on this hugely successful event, a portion of the funds we receive for recycling will go towards their cause, which is building affordable housing for low-income members of their community.
We at Vintage Tech are very excited to hear about so many people choosing to recycle their old electronics! For more information on the event, visit here.
