Got unwanted electronics? Hearst School’s e-cycle (and more) is Nov. 7

by Marlene Berlin

Hearst’s e-cycle is back, bigger and better than ever.

Head over to Hearst Elementary (3950 37th Street NW, near Tilden) on Saturday, November 7th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a great community event. Drop off your unwanted electronics for recycling and your documents for shredding, plus swap or donate working electronics, kids’ and adults’ books, and bikes, cleats and sports equipment.

The book sale raises money for the Hearst PTA.

Plus: Shop at the rummage market, adopt a pet from the Washington Humane Society, grab a snack at the bake sale and play in the bounce house. For more information, see hearstes.org/ecycle_2015 or email [email protected].

Biggest bonuses:

No need to worry about your data when your old hard drive is crushed to smithereens.

Costs to you:

 
I highly recommend this experience, and boy do you feel a good deal lighter – unless you load up with rummage sale purchases, get new pet or bring home a new bike. Maybe you shouldn’t get out of your car. But then you would miss so much fun!
