Is that old CRT monitor collecting dust at home? It’s time to spring clean your house and garage and bring the dust-collectors to The Washington Harbour for recycling. In honor of Earth Day, patrons can bring their old documents, electronics and bicycles to the Harbour for re-use and recycling. The event takes place Friday, April 13 from 11 am to 2 pm. Local companies will also be on hand to show and demonstrate clean and sustainable transportation alternatives. For more information and a list of items being collected, visit Harbour Recycling.
