A giant thank you to the 27 volunteers who helped with the Haines Friends of Recycling electronic recycling over the weekend. We couldn’t have done it without you. We collected a total of 16,414 pounds of electronics for recycling, approximately 13,000 on Friday and 3,000 on Saturday. Go figure. Special thanks to the Friday group for working so effectively with all the recycling that came in and to the Saturday group for also helping with various other projects at the Recycling Center.

This was our 10th year of electronic recycling and our total collected is 148,566 pounds. Amazing. Think of how much we have kept out of the landfills. Haines Friends of Recycling functions because of the tremendous support of our volunteers; thank you so very much!
