Appliance, Freon, CRT & Electronics Recycling Collection

APPLIANCE, FREON, CRT & ELECTRONICS RECYCLING COLLECTION Benefitting the BSA Troop 519 SATURDAY, April 17th from 9 AM to 1 PM

We’re Back! Medeiros Crew Recycling will once again be holding appliance, Freon, CRT and electronics recycling drives. We’ll start back on Saturday, April 17, 2021 from 9 to 1 at the Spence Farm property located at 41 Wyman Street in Woburn.

For the health and safety of all, masks will be required to be worn by both customers and volunteers during the collection. Thank you!

This is an excellent opportunity to recycle these items at a minimal cost, while supporting a local group or organization each month. There is a significant cost savings compared to the higher cost associated with curbside appliance recycling programs. In Woburn, the cost for curbside pick-up of many of these items has increased once again in 2021.

The drop-off recycling drives at Spence Farm are open to residents and businesses from all communities, not just Woburn.

With your support, over the years these collections have raised over $200,000 for local non-profit organizations, as well as several thousand dollars in donations to the Woburn Memorial High School Scholarship Fund. So, clean out those basements, attics, garages and warehouses and bring your items to the next drive on April 17th!
