A television can be recycled for free with a donation of canned good items on Thursday, Nov. 17. There is a limit of one television per customer.
The event will be held during Specialty Recycling hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Clark County Recycling Center, 1620 W. Main St. in Springfield.
Specialty recycling normally requires a small fee for items, including $0.10 a pound for televisions and a $10 flat fee for TV tubes by themselves.
This event is part of the 25th anniversary celebration of America Recycles Day by Keep America Beautiful.
America Recycles Day, also known as National Recycling Day, is nationally observed on Nov. 15 in the U.S. to promote recycling.
