Recycle
Your Out of Date Electronics
The Darke County Solid Waste Management District and 1 Shot Services,
Bradford, OH, are joining forces to sponsor an Electronics Recycling
Day on May 22, 2019, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at 1 Shot Scrap and
Recycling. 1 Shot is located at 6377 Hahn Rd, Bradford,
Ohio. During this event, the district will accept non-perishable
food items to be taken to Grace Resurrection food pantry.
After many suggestions from participants, the district has decided to
try this event without the requirement of preregistration!!! To try to
help alleviate long lines, we ask that those with the last name A-M
arrive between 9 am and Noon and those with the last name N-Z arrive
between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm. By assigning a specific time frame
for arrival, we are trying to circumvent long lines, longer waits, and
traffic jams. However, if something should occur that prevents you from
taking in your equipment at your assigned time, you may still take it
for collection as long as you arrive before 5 pm. You will be served on
a first come, first served basis.
The program, which is open to all Darke County businesses, industries,
schools, nonprofit organizations and residents, will involve the
participation and support of nine Darke County agencies to make it
work. These Darke County agencies are the adult probation
office’s community service and litter collection department, the board
of county commissioners, buildings and grounds department, common pleas
court, municipal court, and general health district’s environmental
division. Best of all, neither your tax dollars nor the county’s
general fund are being used to fund this program!! The Solid
Waste District uses fees collected from area disposal companies to fund
all their programs.
Electronics equipment can be very expensive to throw away or even
recycle. Local businesses can pay high dollars to have
electronics hauled to a disposal site. Computers, especially,
which go out of date as fast as they come on the market, can be
extremely costly. Again this year, CRT televisions and monitors
will not be accepted through the district’s collection. 1 Shot
Scrap and Recycling will accept televisions for a fee.
Neighboring county residents have paid as much as $1 per inch to have
their computer or television monitors recycled. 1 Shot will
accept CRT monitors and televisions up to 32” for $5 each, 32” and
above for $10 ea and projection televisions for $15 each.
Fees are subject to change after May 22, 2019.
All equipment that is brought in for recycling will be disassembled for
recycling. Computer hard drives will be drilled on site to
protect your personal information. Some of these items may
include computers (CPUs, PCs, laptops), keyboards, monitors, printers,
typewriters, adding machines, calculators, copiers, small kitchen
appliances such as microwaves and toaster ovens, radios, telephonic
equipment, manufacturing equipment, cables, cords, and other electronic
wiring.
