Keep Loup Basin Beautiful and the Burwell Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce another amazing opportunity to rid your premises of old, broken, unwanted technology items. The CRT Amnesty project is providing free technology recycling to sixteen communities across the state. The collections are specific for Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors and televisions but other technology items are being accepted also. The goal of the event is to safely dispose of and responsibly recycle as many CRT’s as possible using R2 Certified Recyclers, Sadoff Electronics Recycling & Data Destruction and American Recycling. R2 Certified Recyclers follow the highest industry standards for data security and environmental health and safety so feel confident that technology items disposed of will be properly handled.
Amy Hughes, KLBB, Project Coordinator stated, “Burwell will be offering the CRT Amnesty Collection Event on Saturday, May 8, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Loup Rivers Scenic Byway Interpretive Center and Loup Basin RC&D Office (330 S Hwy 11) in Burwell.
