Number of the week:

21,326

The amount of electronics, in pounds, that we collected at our Oct. 11 e-waste drive.

According to President Steve Noble, that's the second-highest haul ever.

"71% of it was TVs and monitors," he says, "and the rest were PCs and peripherals."

Isn't that something? Thanks again, Jackson, for taking care of your e-waste in a responsible way.

E-waste drive this weekend

That's right, electronic recyclers - it's that time again.

Recycling Jackson and Sam's Club are hosting the Fall E-waste Drive this Saturday, Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sam's Club in Jackson.

We're taking the usual TVs, computer equipment, stereos, batteries, and fluorescent lights. We ask for a donation for each item you bring, but some items - like CD players and printers - are free.

Check out our e-waste page for all the details.
