~ Residents of Springfield have until May 31 to take advantage of the Clean Green Springfield litter cleanup and beautification initiative, which offers no-cost disposal of televisions and mattresses.
The initiative was created in response to the problem of items such as mattresses, televisions and tires being dumped in alleyways and along Springfield streets. Not only do these items take up space in landfills, but they also pose a threat to the environment if not properly disposed of.
The City has partnered with the Computer Recycling Center to provide no-cost television recycling of up to 200 TVs through Clean Green Springfield. TV's accepted include CRT, LED, Plasma, Big Screen, Console and LCD TVs. Residents can take advantage of this offer at the Computer Recycling Center located at 528 N. Prince Lane during regular business hours from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., Monday – Saturday during the month of May (closed Memorial Day - 5/29). There is a limit of one no-cost TV recycling per residential household available on a first-come first-served basis.
