Electronics Disposal Day is an opportunity to dispose of your old, tired and used electronics on Island in an environmentally safe way.
How does EDD work? Great question! If you know exactly what you are bringing, you can expedite the process by prepaying. Please bring a printed receipt with you to the event. Otherwise, volunteers will help you tally your electronics and safely dispose of them for you. Payment is accepted via check or credit card (no cash please) and all proceeds benefit both MV Community Services and MVRHS.
