A recycling program at the R-Board Regional Landfill in Stafford County acts as an alternative to dropping items off at businesses, such as big-box retailers that may charge recycling fees.
-  “The advantage for people is not only that we get it [e-waste] out of the landfill, but it also helps us raise money to help out the community,” program manager Fred Canon said.
- Best Buy offers can recycle many smaller electronics for free, but they charge $25 to take monitors and TVs.
The program uses proceeds from electronic recycling to donate to several organizations.
- In 2019, they’ve donated around $2,000 to the local food pantry SERVE and the Stafford Lions Club that works with sight, hearing, and disability programs.
- Other organizations that they support include the Marine Corps Heritage Program, Special Olympics, Rotary Flags for Heroes, and Youth Sports. These all received donations of $50 thus far in 2019.
Recyclers pay money to receive old electronics which is how the program raises funds.
