A free “Sustainability Day” greets Greater Haverhill residents this coming Saturday with electronics recycling as well as information about general recycling, water reduction, open space and land conservation and Haverhill’s trail stewards.
The day, part of Haverhill Farmers Market, gives residents a chance to recycle their old technology and electronics with EverTech Recycling to help, in organizer’s words, “make Haverhill a greener place.” There is free recycling for laptops, desktops, controllers, gaming equipment, cellphones, telephones, monitors, servers, switches, lithium-ion batteries, hard drives, tablets, iPods, cords, chargers, audio equipment and power supplies. There is a $30 fee for televisions—no older cathode ray tube types—and a $5 fee for device hard drive shredding. Those with questions about electronics recycling may call EverTech at 617-302-6306 or visit evertech.com.
Haverhill city departments, including water, trash and recycling Department and Conservation will be on hand to answer questions and provide information.
Information about new trails and open spaces in Haverhill is available from Essex County Greenbelt Association, which conserves farmland, wildlife habitat and scenic landscapes to ensure free access to nature for all.
Sustainability Day takes place Saturday July 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Bradford Common, 10 Church St.
