We will have collection booths set up in the church accepting donations of electronics, appliances and scrap metals free of charge.  Some examples would be old computers and parts, hair dryers, printers, refrigerators, washers and dryers, cords, cables, cell phones, gaming systems, televisions, radios, cars, bikes etc. We will also be accepting unusually large appliances, all for free. Our goal is to reuse, recycle, refurbish and salvage everything.
