CITY ANNOUNCES ELECTRONICS RECYCLING EVENT
Mayor Encourages Citizens & Business to Recycle Old Computers

The City of Methuen will be sponsoring an Electronics Recycling Event on Saturday, November 8th from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. at the transfer station on Huntington Avenue. The event will be run by ACT, Inc., New England’s leading recycler of Computers & Electronic Equipment. Residents and businesses may dispose of computers, monitors, fax machines and other electronic equipment free of charge.

“I strongly encourage people to participate in this event,” said Methuen Mayor William M. Manzi, III. “This is a win for the environment and for citizens who can save significant disposal fees.” Manzi added that this is one in a series of efforts his administration has made to promote green government and energy efficiency. In 2006, he created a committee to advise him on such matters. Earlier this year, Manzi distributed reusable cloth shopping bags at his annual city clean up event. He also entered the city in the EPA’s Energy Challenge, committing to lower the city’s energy consumption by 10% by the end of his tenure as mayor. He currently is working to employ renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, to power city lighting systems.
