Scrap metal and e-waste pick-up Saturday, April 27

Support Firefighters and Kinsmen causes and tidy up, too!

It’s that time of the year to purge as the St. Marys Volunteer Firefighters and Kinsmen Club of St. Marys take to the streets on Saturday, April 27 to pick up scrap metal and e-waste. The pick-ups not only benefit homeowners; proceeds from the scrap metal collection support Muscular Dystrophy Canada, while the e-waste collection supports Cystic Fibrosis.

Residents must have items to the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, April 27 and are asked to separate scrap metal from e-waste to assist volunteers. As the pick-ups are fundraisers, please leave the donations for the firefighters and Kinsmen.

The following items are considered e-waste and will be picked up:

• DVD and VCR players
• Cameras, cellphone, pagers, portable media players and PDAs
• Computers, keyboards, mice, copiers, scanners, fax machines and printers
• Radios, monitors, televisions, tuners, video projectors, record players
• Telephones, answering machines
• Small appliances, speakers, fax machines and microwaves

The following items are not acceptable for pick-up:

• Household bulk items
• Hazardous liquids or paint
• Household garbage
• Brush and yard clippings
